Google Supplemental Result – How to get out of Supplemental Result

What is Google Supplemental Result?

Simply saying Google Supplemental result means pages that are not valuable in the eye of Google. Once Google find such pages he sort out pages and put them in supplemental result.

Is supplemental result affecting my overall ranking?

Most probably YES. If Google show most of your web pages in their supplemental result then your website ranking will be down. Supplemental results means Google don’t like those pages and not like to index them in their main index. So overall your website pages will be drop and as well your ranking. If you have a static small website then you can probably manage all pages of your website and make them different from all other pages but supplemental result problem very common in big dynamic site where webmaster cant distinguish enough from other pages and Google through pages in their supplemental index and will not crawl those pages regularly. Pages showed in Supplemental results are still show in Google Cache but Google cached page before month or more. This shows Google not like to visit this page often and don’t like to index.

How to get out of Google Supplemental Result?

This is very crucial for every webmaster to make site search engine friendly so search engine call crawl each and every page and include pages in their index. Once site is ready webmaster need to check content of each and every page, Meta, title and description. It must be different from all other pages. If you have deep linking then put a direct link on home page of your website so Google find it easily and love to crawl page regularly. Other important thing you need to consider is URL, make sure URL do not contain query string, hyphen and numbers. In Google Webmaster Guideline they have clearly mentioned

If you decide to use dynamic pages (i.e., the URL contains a "?" character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls dynamic pages as well as static pages. It helps to keep the parameters short and the number of them few.

Hidden facts about Meta Tag

Hi,


As we all know main SEO efforts start from optimizing a website for search engine. Once site is ready to submit in all search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, AltaVista, etc, but before submitting your website in search engine you need to revise all SEO efforts that may heart your ranking as well improve your ranking. Many SEO did same mistake in optimizing their Meta Tags include Meta Title, Meta Description and Meta Keywords. SEO must need to do deep research while choosing keywords for website. This is most crucial task in success of a website. To find keyword you can use overture keyword suggestion tool developed by Yahoo. Write appropriate word in keyword suggestion tools and when you have a list of keywords for a site then short list most important keywords. Try to use keyword phrase or terms that you think user will type while they are searching for your product through search engine. If you are own a hotel and want traffic from search engine then you probably don’t need to optimize for Hotel as this is generalize keyword but if your hotel located in Ahmedabad then better to concentrate on Hotel in Ahmedabad. For this keyword your chances will be more compare to hotel and you will receive targeted users. This applies for all business and service provider websites.

Now you are clear what you want your website to do and also complete list of keywords. Now first initiative is to optimize your Meta Tags.

Here are three main hidden facts where most SEOs did mistake.

Keyword Density: - Most SEO and Web Promotion experts do not follow quality guideline provided by Google. Your title length should be 6 to 12 words maximum, your description length should be 12 to 24 words maximum and finally your keyword length should be 24 to 40 words. At the beginning of title tag, description tag and keyword tag put most effective keyword of your website. Try to repeat the keywords, for which you optimize, at least two times in Meta tags but its better if you use keyword phrase. Using keyword phrase will improve your keyword density and your website chance of getting good ranking in search engine.

Avoid Stop Words: - One other hidden thing in optimizing Meta tag is stop words. Probably most SEOs forget to keep watching on search engine stop words. Search engine stop words are those words that search don’t crawl and not help in improving search engine ranking.

Search Engine Stop Words:- I, a, about, an, are, as, at, be, by, com, de, en, for, from, how, in, is, it, la, of, on, or, that, the, this, to, was, what, when, where, who, will, with, und, the, www

If it’s possible then try to keep above mentioned words away from your title tag. It is not possible to write sentence without above stops words but you can control above words by other ways.
