Comments on: Calculate Your Google Supplemental Index Ratio

Obviously you want your pages to appear when people search for them. But so what if there is duplicate content because multiple pages on your sites get put in multiple categories? Google filters the duplicates out and then displays the most relevant. Why would this give your site a drop in rankings? I suppose the PR would be distributed and that would lower, but I’m seeing sites with very low PR’s ranking very high. And if Google can’t find something in their main index they then return supplemental index results. If not then why have a supplemental index at all? Seems like today the supplemental index isn’t really showing. Seems like a lot of guess work. We are using Joomla and it produces duplicate content on it’s own due to design. So does WordPress. Is Google not smart enough to figure these things out? What can we really do about it? Things change so fast, you “fix” one thing then they change and the “fix” is not longer valid. Very frustrating.

Sorry but this stuff is old and doesn’t work any more. Pages that this query says is in the main index have actually been deleted via google webmaster tool and don’t appear at all on the web and pages that are not in the main index according to this url are ranking very well….please ignore this suppplementasl rubbish, most seo tools don’t wrk
