A Webmaster Blog
Internet porn!!!! websites have been indexed as the new supplemental index by Google and some even completely de-indexed from Google’s index.
Now looking at some sites using the Google’s [site:] operator, searches for the domains seem to be going through the same “supplemental problems” that many other webmasters are also reporting:
[site:tinynibbles.com]
[site:erosblog.com]
[site:comstockfilms.com]
However it seems to me lot of webmasters out there actually want their pages to rank for their keyphrases and not go into supplemental hell with this “non update” no matter what Kool-Aid the googlers are serving us while trying to sell us new footwear.
I tend to wonder about the supplementals and why/how they get there. There are many, many searches where sites that are clearly sporting content that -should be- supplement, do not have the supplemental filter applied.
Supplemental results are the few results which come for a low competitive keyphrase or spammy keyword webpage in Google search engine ranking pages.
Some people even mention these as Added Results of a particular query.
Google maintains a seperate index for supplemental results
What are the causes for a site to get into supplemental index?
1. Not Enough Backlinks.
2. Duplicate content penalties.
3. It is a brand new site
4. Affiliate based sites are mostly prone to supplemental results.
5. Pages in which content is not regularly updated on a periodic basis on the basis of new research carried out or a new discovery can also come into supplemental results.
6. 404 error pages or the pages whose old url is not permanently redirected to new URLs can come into supplemental results.
7. www and no www urls of the same page are also treated as different webpages from Google’s point of view.
As Webpages go into supplemental index, the traffic goes down because Google does not crawl and index these pages for new content frequently.
Let us see Google’s definition of supplemental results
Supplemental sites are part of Google’s auxiliary index. We’re able to place fewer restraints on sites that we crawl for this supplemental index than we do on sites that are crawled for our main index. For example, the number of parameters in a URL might exclude a site from being crawled for inclusion in our main index; however, it could still be crawled and added to our supplemental index.
The index in which a site is included is completely automated; there’s no way for you to select or change the index in which your site appears. Please be assured that the index in which a site is included does not affect its PageRank.
Comment back on your research about supplemental results if you found any while Googling for a obscure keyphrase
