Supplemental results BACK in serps!

    I'm seeing new major serp changes today including supplemental results being readded to the index. Is anyone else seeing this? I'm NOT complaining though... this will indeed help a lot of us out as far as coop weight goes.
    Is this a dream??

    edit: by serps they were always in serps. What I meant was a site:domain returns the results once again giving more pages to a site.

    I don't see any drastic changes, but if google makes a major change where most sites saw extra pages, it wouldn't give any more benefit as the co-op is proportional.

    This is true in most cases. But it's hard to say how many sites have what percentage supplemental results. If I understand correctly a page becomes supplemental when there are no links(internal or external) to it. I could be wrong though.
    So any site that recently (or not so recently) changes url styles without properly redirecting will see a much higher boost than someone who's kept the same structure throughout.

    No, that's not correct.

    At the latest TPR update my site too lost a number of duplicate results (not sure if these are "supplementals") from the index. Consequently (at least that was my impression) PR fell from 6 to 5. After that I finally decided to submit a sitemap and Google has generally shown the correct number of pages as listed in the sitemap. But now there are 10 data centers in McDar's list that show a higher number again. Anyway, long story that could simply confirm iconrate's observation.

    :eek:

    I agree. Supplemetal results have been counting towards a site's total page count for a while now. I have this PR5 AWS site I baught a while back for a few hundred bucks.. it has 23,000 pages indexed using the "site:" command.. and virtually all are supplemental results. The co-op weight is also 23,000!!
