Only my home page surviving supplemental

    Hi, i've posted twice before about supplemental results problems but i'm still getting them. I'm a web developer and i try not to get too involved with the seo point of view and just try to stick to the standards. However one of my sites is www.ttpd.co.uk is coming up as supplemental for every page other than the home page even though i have made an effort to put descriptive text on each product category page and have given each page a unique title and unique meta tags. I have also tried to avoid duplicate content and multiple links to the same content.

    Appreciate if someone could tell me what i am possibly doing wrong.

    I have this same issue with an arcade site.

    But even though the site:domain.com shows 99% supplemental results, I still get traffic for many search terms and many pages. I think it might not be a serious problem as long as google is still sending you traffic.

    Do your pages rank well in the serps for your chosen key words?

    The main things to look at R -

    1. Unique TITLE tags on each page

    2. Unique Meta-Descriptions on each page

    3. LINKS AND MORE LINKS - from the recent Google Update ( Jan 2007) the ever chatty Matt Cutts said;

    Make sure U have those bases covered.

    4- Stay away from duplicate content
    5- Create text content rich pages (+200 words)

    The post from Matt Cutts' blog is right-on - develop incoming links. That's the only way to be removed from supplementals.

    Agree. Make sure you get lots of links to inner pages from external sites. This is where sub $10 directories can be very usefull.

    The next best step is to make all pages less than 2 clicks from the homepage.

    Links in are the key folks:)

    Get Links and give it time and you will see your pages jump out of supplementals.....
