    Goggle dropped the supplemental tag so supplemental results checking is useless and pointless.

    Nonsense, this newb gave you wrong info. They dropped the tag but not the supplemental index. Keep monitoring your supplementals.

    How do you know if it's in the supplemental index without the tag?

    Hello...

    Supps are now hidden from you... :(

    I believe that one off the best techniques now is looking at the page and seeing when it was last indexed as well as look at most pages to see if the indexing is within the monthly timelines or sooner.

    I have been using this tool for round about ideas on how well a directory is performing... http://www.webuildpages.com/cool-cache/

    Also i like that i can see when the indexing was done on the latest links pages as those are usally the first signs that your site was indexed.

    thx

    lol what, did you try it?

    The command seems to be showing the same pages for my domain that previously had supplemental tags.

    Lol, what was the point of dropping the supplemental tag when we can just use your handy little search and it shows us the same thing? Does Google assume most SEOs won't figure this out?

    I think it was really the "stigma" attached to their Supplemental results, aka Google Hell. They are aiming at having a fresher index and including more Supp pages in each query so i guess saw it a good idea to drop it.

    But honestly, Supp pages will only be included when a query fails to pull enough results from the main index. So it's still a good idea to correct these pages.

    That query i discovered probably isn't 100%, i'm still testing things out with it.. But i'd like people who know what pages they had that were Supp tagged to try it and give me feedback on whether the pages this query returns are similar or the same as what was shown in the old Supplemental labeling.

    So far it's the best i can come up with.

    look at the cache date of a page, backlinks to that page and query for a long unique phrase from that page. A phrase that is very likely to be unique.
    If is not showing up, you have a good chance of being in supplemental index with that page.
    Works great for me..

    Cache date has no direct connection to Supp, i've got alot of pages that have older cache and they arn't is Supp simply because they are static and never update. Google cache's my PR1 blog more then my static PR5 pages due to the update frequency.

    Same as backlinks to a page, i've got stacks of pages with no backlinks but were never in Supp simply because connecting pages had enough Pagerank to float them.

    Querying a unique sentence off a Supp page will show it as long as the page is cached, because Google includes Supp pages when a query doesn't have enough results.

    So none of them are valid or accurate ways to determine if a page in Supp's, not only that it's alot of work to "attempt" to find the status of just one page when an operator query will show all Supp pages in a site in seconds.

    ok ...again

    so...first of all the pages need unique title and description tags
    then it needs some unique content on the page and to be linked from the main domain..

    Cache date is very connected with supplemental pages.....old cache increases the chances that page is in supplemental.....pages in supplemental have old cache in Google. Not all pages with old cache are in supplemental index. Is another thing.

    The same with backlinks....I didn't say is a rule and no backlinks=supplemental. I said increases the chances and you should pay more attention to those pages if there are no backlinks directly pointing to that page.

    LOL....we are talking about supplemental pages...remember?
    Pages already cached....of course it needs to be cached to be in supplemental index. Your point makes no sense here.

    None of them are valid ... .yeah sure.....sorry if you know more and this seems bullshit to you :rolleyes:

    This thread is exactly the reason why I avoid DP for learning the honest truth about SEO.

    For starters, someone called someone else a noob - even though they had more posts.

    The SUPP index is GONE. Google themselves said it.

    Remotay - Lack of IBLs to your individual pages is why they all WERE in the supp. index. Get more links to your homepage and work on your internal linking structure.

    1-2 links is sometimes all it takes to lift you out of the supp. index (if it still existed).

    Supplemental index still exists....you completely misunderstood that
    Sure...more links to homepage will help your deep pages get out from supplemental index and rank...please do so for your own sites
    but don't offer advices to other people....they might think you know what you are talking about..
