All my pages except the index are "Supplement Results' ? All content is original, used copyscape and nothing comes up. So, Is having a template throughout the site the reason for this? I don't understand this.
try reading the seobook entry on supplementals and my ammendment to what they were saying. should help.
using the same template on every page is rarely, if ever, going to cause supplemental results as long as there's legitimate useful content on each page.
I read both articles, only thing I have not done yet is getting getting links to other pages in my site. I've always just taken homepage links, so I'll change that. Here's my site: www.best-online-gambling-specials.com does anyone see anything obvious that I've missed? Thanks
There are multiple reasons for supplemental index. I have listed some of the reasons I feel may get your content in the supplemental index: 1. Sandbox type affect still in place 2. Insufficient inbound links - low quality inbound links 3. Content is too deeply linked (beyond 2 deep it is more likely to go into supplmental index especially if new or not many inbound links) 4. Page contents contain low searched terms Those are just 4 but there are loads of other factors to consider as well - I have seen one of my sites continually go in and out of supplemental results with original stuff mainly staying in supplemental while some lower quality or more irrelevant stuff stays in the main index... very confusing.
I had the same issue: Just change the title, description and keywords for every page and you should be right. Give it a couple weeks and you'll see the changes take effect.
Links will help a lot for sure. I have had some success using social bookmarking to get traffic and some backlinks. I have posted a thread on my forums about it: Social Bookmarking Traffic.
It will only work if the reason why a site was in supplemental was due to the keywords/descriptions being the same. In most cases that is not the problem - so wouldn't solve the issue (but it wouldn't harm it any either).
it didnt help me it seems g thinks i have duplicate due to www. vs non www so did chnages on server n chnaged all links to absolute, il keep you posted on recovery
Affiliate links and redirects will trash a site to supplemental hell. At a minimum, use the rel="nofollow" attribute on links. Using forms instead of hyperlinks tends to work better. Also, G doesn't like casino, pharmacy or porn sites. Almost all are in supplmental.
