My datacenter here is 66.102.9.104. I noticed this morning that some of my sites were going supplemental (again) .. but now it's just gone crazy. I'm having real problems finding a site that HASN'T gone supplemental. Apart from a few pages in the main index, the rest have gone haywire. I've tried bbc.co.uk, slashdot.org, digg.com, digitalpoint.com, youtube.com, microsoft.com My friend has also reported the same problem on 66.102.9.99. What's going on?
G as always do, but dont worry about supplemental results. did you watch about matt cutts video about supplemental?
Yes, you're right. That happened two or three days ago, then was corrected (probably this morning). Looks like it's all gone wrong again. I'm assuming that when even 'site:www.google.com' shows mostly supplementals, they will recognise they have a problem. bwb: as above, you can type site:www.domainname. com in google. But the site command is seriously broken recently.
Yep I know about site: domain name, but what out of what it returns is supplementals? If it says it ommitted results are those the supplementals and the non suplementals are the ones shown?
I also noticed at the time it was only showing me supplemental results if I was logged in. Otherwise it would only returns results out of the main index (i.e. "Results 1 - 7 of about 152,000,000 from bbc.co.uk") Is this a site: operator problem, or a supplemental index problem? I can't prove either way
Read this: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=153887 It is all temporary. Google itself has a bunch of pages supplemental because of the update.
Hi Visio - yes I just read your blog post. Informative data, but it's not really my site I'm concerned about, it's the quality of Google results. What percentage of researchers use Google .. what percentage of those are using the affected datacentres .. how many relevant documents are not being displayed? SearchMash great, Google Code search excellent, but a substantial proportion of personal, scientific and financial information requests go through Google's core product. Perhaps I'm ranting But I'm very curious
So if it says: Results 1 - 2 of about 51 from www.domain.cokm It has 1 to 2 pages in the main index and the 51 are supplemental? As below the first 2 entries it then says: In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 2 already displayed. If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included.
It has to be a site: operator problem. For my main site, there are about 84 pages, no supplemental, but it shows only 3 for a site: search on 66.102.9.104. Using site: with *** -sakpfjdksald (12 random characters) will bring up supplemental pages. For my main site, it shows 0, the same as other d/c's. I was not logged in, BTW. Check out this tool to see supplemental counts: http://oy-oy.eu/google/supplemental/ It returns 0 if you hit 1,000 however.
