Ok, here we have something, you link to: HostDrive.com Munich Hotels Student Loan Consolidation Free Advertising Mestizo Buy Anything On eBay Sponsors: Mesothelioma Attorney | eBay Registration | Cord Blood | Vioxx Attorney | Free Credit Report | Golf Training Aid | Generator | Real Player | eLoan | Yahoo Hosting | Vonage Phone | 1and1 Hosting | Go To My PC These links are doing you no good at all, in fact they will most likely hurt your rankings seriously. Outbound unrelated links has become Googles enemy. Its even worse if these links are reciprocal. Get rid of all those links and read this: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/indexing-timeline/ And please, post back here if you get out of supp. after removing this links. That will help a lot of people, including me.
How on earth does Google know what is or is not relevant. If I want to link more than one of my company sites to another I cannot see where that should be a factor in defining "supplimental" results. I was under the impression that supplimental results were pages that had similar or duplicate content, not links to other sites, related or not it should not make any difference. As for Matt Cutts blog, his explanations read like a 1977 CB manual. A lot of double speak and meaningless drivel like paradigm shifts. I've never spent so much time listening to someone only to go, WTF did he say? Sometimes it's like listening to a politician. I think I am going to adjust the title tags instead first and see what that does. Thanx for the input though.
Unfortuantely it does not seem to matter if I have them or not. The only reason this site does not is because that is the way eShox (the ecommerce platform in use) was originally built. Oddly enough, depending on what DC I poll, some DC's show supplimentals, some do not. There is no rhyme or reason to it. It seems to change from DC to DC from the next day to the next.
I'm just playing the games with the rules that seem to work now. As as the G minister of disinformation points out, we have to adapt to play their game. I can't explain why they want what they want, nor can I explain why what was working in all the other engines didn't work with G. But, playing the game, I got good results and was not penalized in the other engines that I can tell. A big 10-4 on the "double speak and meaningless drivel" good buddy.
How do Google see that it is not relevant ? Well, how can I see it ? Your site has pottery and jars and so on all over, except in the footer, and you still wonder how Google can understand it, come on. And if you dont want to listen to Cutts that is your choise, most respected SEOs are listening to him. That he is boring to listen to, that is your (and mine) problem. Well, you need to fix your title tags anyway and while you are at it, why dont you fix the urls also, to make the urls describe the products. And if it will not cost you to much in refunds, why dont you just try to take away all that unrelated links ? And please, let us know about your progress.
I could not agree more. It is a game. That is the best definition I have heard thus far. Even if you are not intentionally trying to play the game, you seem to be screwed with Google. I am close to the breaking point here.
Mia, I was the same mate, until I began relying less on G for traffic. Don't let them have you by the balls. For a site I launched last month, G accounts for the #3 source in traffic. So even if I was to get hit in the SERPs, I would still have a foot to stand on.
WHen your site goes into supplemental., It may be due to: Same title tags in all the pages., Having complex dynamic urls Doing rewriting and forgetting to redirect the old crawled url to the new rewritten url lots of 404 pages And many more.,
