Hi Everyone! From what I have read in the forums the coop weight algorithm takes into account how many pages are indexed and cached by google. I was wondering if the type of page (ie: “supplementalâ€) plays into the weight equation. The reason I am asking is that I have a fairly huge site, 100k + pages, I have around 11,000 cached pages and 18,000 indexed pages BUT I’m weighing in at 4032 and seems a little low. Any ideas? Thanks Frank
yeah, supplemental results don't count use this tool http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/keywords/ and put your google api key in. The number of indexed pages it says is what the weight calculation is using
Thanks Tiptop ... that may explain why my weight is so low. Any ideas on how to get your pages listed as non-supplemental?
I *think* they get listed as supplemental because they have similar/duplicate content to other pages on your site. If that is the case, depending on the content of the pages you could add a 'add your comments' section if it is an article, or if thats too much hassle add some related rss feeds
From experience once they're supplemtental you're goosed. However to combat the problem before it happens ensure all your page titles differ (assuming the bulk of the content differs).
TFMG, my page titles differ as they are dynamically geberated generated and so does the text! Still goosed? frank
What I mean is once they're supplemental you'll have a very hard time in getting them non supplemental from experience. Regardless of what you do.
When I had one of my pages fall into the supplemental category I finally sat down and wrote some content for it. It was an area that deserved thought in writing and I had just glossed over it. After I redid page it lot supplemental classification. Shannon
Yep, that'll work, trouble is usually the supplementals come from some kind of script (amazon feed for example) which means you cant really write unique content for all the pages that come up as supplemental.
Interesting, my experience has been very different. I fear supplemental for some sites might be some sort of penalty, although I have no evidence to back this claim up. But nothing I do gets the pages un-supplemental.
