The Death of Supplemental Results
Posted on | August 1, 2007 | No Comments
Today is the day Google's "Supplemental Results" have been but to death!
According to Arnold Zafra at Search Engine Journal "Starting today, Google will be removing the “supplemental labels” on the URLs of supplemental results displayed by the search engine. Since 2003, the supplemental results has provided Google with a better way of displaying more search results when it crawls websites. Through the supplemental results, Google were able to provide more search results to users even though this results were not crawled from the main index of a website. These supplemental results usually came from other pages of the websites."
I am not sure if I consider this a good thing yet.
Jim Boykin tells you a method to find if a page is in Google’s New Secret Supplemental Results. As quoted by Jim "even if Google won’t tell me outright that a page is in the Supplemental Results Index, I can still get a pretty good guess if a specific page is now in Google’s now Secret Supplemental Results Index."
So are the Supplemental Results still in effect but you can not see them?
Over the next few days I will play with the results of this site and a few others I maintain and give my input.
Til then have a good evening,
Mark
