I have noticed some of my orinal entries in my blog was already index by google, but the problem it was marked as suplemental. Why this happened? Is there a way to correct this problem?
And the bad thing I found some site using duplicate contents such us free to republish articles are not marked as suplemental.
A lot of recent sites that have been sent to the supplemental index have meta description tags that are the same sitewide. Your better off not having a meta description tag than having all the tags the same on every page of your site (Matt Cutts said this himself). Another reason why sites get sent to supplemental index is because there is not enough unique content on the pages (this is a big problem with dynamic sites where only a couple of words are unique from page to page). Try customizing your meta description tags or get rid of them altogether.
I thought meta tags is no longer important in google? Is this mean that they are start considering meta tags again?
My metas are unique, and a few have still gone supplemental. Really strange, but I'm glad I'm not alone here..
There still a factor in over 100 so always consider them, just make sure all of them are unique if your using a static site, it's easy, just change the content of this tag: <meta name="description" content="some really good description here"> Unless your using a dynamic site (php or asp or whatever) then you need some special bit of coding that needs adding and I don't know what that is lol
Exactly, I had this problem with one of my sites, I replaced the meta Description tags with Page oriented description and within 2 months I was out of sup.. You were wrong.. Again?? When Meta tags were not-important??
if you are referring to wordpress, add this code on the header. Description will only be on your index page. <? if (is_home()): ?> <meta name="description" content="description here..."/> <?php endif; ?> Code (markup): I don't know about the page-to-page description but this is what I do to prevent supplementary results..
In drupal, you want to edit the page.tpl.php file located in your theme's folder. This has your whole page layout. If you didn't put the metatags in, then they probably arn't there.
i have removed every meta description, say for my home page so over the next few months it'll be interesting to see if i regain some pages
