Yikes all my pages are in the supplemental index

I used the Francesco Mapelli tool and it showed that every page except one was in the supplemental index. I've been making more and more changes to my robots.txt file to exclude duplicates but I'm wondering what else I can do. Any suggestions? At this rate I'm not sure anything in my site will show up in a search.

thanks,

supplemental index as in they are not on the first page?

 

Do you have any backlinks that Google recognizes? I ask because I've had a few sites that ended up in the supplemental index for short period of time, but then I was able to get them out with some decent backlinks (at elast, I think that's what did it). I didn't change anything on the site other than picking up some BL's.

 

I didn't think Google did that anymore. I haven't seen it in a while

 

do all your pages in the supplemental index affect your site SERPs ?

would that be helpful if you can build some links to your supplemental index pages.

 

Can anyone confirm that Supplemental Results still exist in Google? I haven't seen them in 2 yeasrs, even recent sites that I've launched.

 

duplicate sorry...

 

Well they claimed that they got rid of the supplemental pages a while back and no need to worry about it,
But then again why do some pages have "white" or "grey" or even "green" in the toolbar PR?.....

I believe its still used and heres the link to the tool mentioned above.

Needless to say ....

If you build the "inner pages back-links" (deep-links) then you wont have as many pages
in the non existent "supplemental results"

Google didn't get rid of the Supplemental Index. They just changed their handling of it in 2007 so that (a) those pages are more likely to be included in the search results, and (b) pages are no longer labeled Supplemental in the results. See http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2007/07/supplemental-goes-mainstream.html

 

Yes dont always believe what they feed ya

thx

the mapelli tool just does the standard site:mydomain.com/* search doesnt it?

am not sure about all this supplemental talk any more, because we have greyed out pages on our test site, that are supposedly supplemental according to this search and the mapelli tool, that quite happily rank in amongst other PR3 and 4 pages and sites at #2's and #3's.

not sure how much faith to put in this anymore really

 

Hmm I haven't heard about a supplemental index in a while, I am not sure if that is something that is really even used by google any more. I would question the accuracy of an old tool.
