Repeated results

    I have a few pages in my site that return multiple results in the Google SERP's. It's hard for me to explain, but I'll give you an example.

    I copy the entire webpage filepath, then paste it into Google's search box. When I hit enter to return the results, I get about ten other pages from my site that show up as well. However, the other search pages are slightly indented from the left margin. I was wondering if this is bad thing. I noticed that the page titles all start with the same keyword, so I'm thinking that Google is assuming that they are all very very closely related, and may have possibly put them into the supplementals. Can anyone help me out with this?

    Stop worrying... It's good to have as many pages indexed as you can. Them being indented is normal.

    ya, i'm not sure you understand what i'm saying.

    1. go to a page on your site.
    2. copy the url for that page
    3. paste that url in the google search bar
    4. see how many results show up.
    5. see if you get this message: In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 1 already displayed.
    If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included.


    if you copy and paste the url for a particular page, shouldn't that page be the only one that shows up? my question is: are those "repeated results" supplemental pages?
