Supplement Results

Maybe not for all sites its not true which is something you have proven with yours. I have seen other examples of people making those small changes and seen their site lift but with others its just a no go for them.

Its just unfortunate this fix doesnt work with all sites but I bet your well happy that its working for you

 

Well, it's the first time I have noticed it on my website and alot of my competition I have heard of other people having the problem since the Big Daddy update though.

Edit: Turfsniffer, I think the gfe-eh.google.com site: looks perfect to me - it is showing near the right number of pages I would expect to see, and no supplementals lol

What is this domain? A new datacenter? - not seen it before.

 

From what I have been reading www.gfe-eh.google.com is the DC that Big Daddy resides on so what you see there is what should be rolled out across the other DC's.

 

Those numbers do look more accurate based on pre-Big Daddy results. The actual pages listed are also more accurate.

 

Have you tried this on a site where every page didn't end in .html?

I wonder if google sees you more favorably because of the .html? I'm sure someone can find an example to debunk this idea. I might try the #s, hate to mess up the titles like that though. =)

 

The supp results on Matt's blog are caused by Wordpress & its trailing slash problem....

 

And the supplemental results on the other approximately 10 billion pages in supplemental? What are THEY caused by?

On another note, I thought Google claimed they fixed that trailing slash problem?

 

Thank you turfsniffer! I was wondering about all of this myself and appreciate the quality message you posted!!!!

 

After reading the earlier comments about WordPress and the trailing slash problem, I searched around a bit and managed to find these directions to fix it via .htaccess.

Seems to work like a dream ony my sites, though I don't think I was suffering from Google finding those URLs yet.

Still, better to be pre-emptive, right?

 

Bad coding on our side

There was way too many causes of this supplemental problem, Google have really messed this up big time.

 

I got penalty and reinclusion.

so good I got my traffic back since a few weeks ago

 

Mind me asking what the penalty was for Tony? Good that you got the traffic back


If anyone hasnt seen the new video from Matt Cutts he mentions supplemental results.

obsessive compulsive datacenter watchers

 

I'm not sure, but I think it might be duplicated content from what I tried to redirect all pages to my home page (and google doesn't work with that well) and then another one is link scheme which is might be dp co-op, but I removed co-op because I think there are some spam websites also.

So I got no traffic from google about 2 months (like 2000 to 20 visitors a day) and tried to figured out what cause the problem then I do the reinclusion in google sitemap tool and just got traffic back since 2 weeks ago.

so I can't say exactly, but I do scared for both.

 

I just noticed this url doesnt use www. my mistake..


Should be http://gfe-eh.google.com and another DC is http://gfe-jc.google.com

 

Yes, sorry. I noticed that error the other day but got wrapped up exploring the results and forgot to point it out to you.

 

what if you had known duplicate content on your site, and did nothing about it (because of time factors), and just built good new original content. Does that old dupe content weigh you down??

 

It probably would weigh you down to some degree or at least those pages would be kicked back in the results.

 

No, I have never tried with a different format, but I believe that the search engines favor .html more because it is simple to read.

 

I deleted all sup pages from one of my sites a month before and Google still insisting to show them in site:

 

Google doesn't favor html pages. They can index pretty much anything these days. That's not the problem.
