Is Your Site Missing In A Google Search?

You May Be In Google Supplemental Index

Google uses two indexes for its search results. The normal index and the supplemental results index.

What Is It Supplemental Index?

Google says:

"A supplemental result is just like a regular web result, except that it's pulled from our supplemental index. We're able to place fewer restraints on sites that we crawl for this supplemental index than we do on sites that are crawled for our main index. For example, the number of parameters in a URL might exclude a site from being crawled for inclusion in our main index; however, it could still be crawled and added to our supplemental index."

Why Is My Site Here?

Here are some reasons:

- your pages are dynamically generated
- you don't have unique content on your webpages
- you use doorway pages
- your title and description tags are the same on every page

If your web pages are listed in the supplemental results then they won't be returned very often for regular search queries. Pages that appear on the main index will almost always show up first in a search. Supplemental search results will only show up if there are very few or no results at all in the main index.

What can you do?

A number of things but a couple that will really help is unique, relevant quality content and have specific meta tags for each individual page. It is much easier to avoid being placed in the supplemental index than it is to be taken out. So do it right the first time!
