Which indexes results are better ?

[Linda in NY]

Hi everyone,

I was doing the site command on google, which I've been doing for awhile to see what's indexed. Earlier in the week it showed 1-10 ofr 421 results with most pages in Supplemental, maybe 1-4 not supplemental. It's been like that for months now.

For the last few days, I've done the command and it now shows 1-10 of 37 results with no pages in supplemental status. Which is better ?? I see in the webmaster tools in search queries that we have moved up in some searches pretty well, but I'm not seeing the results yet in visits and visitors numbers.

Just wondering what everyone thought.

Thank you,
Linda

The second. Supplemental results are bad news. It means you are doing something wrong. If you've managed to have no supplemental results it means you've fixed your problems and you have to continue optimizing your site. YOu'll see even better results in time. But from where I see it site:www.cocomilkcollectibles.com still has lots of supplemental results.

yeah supplemental results mean you got some duplicate content issues or the url is not being reached or indexed correctly, it could mean other things too

Look on the 'Similar Pages' link so you'll know which sites are duplicating your content.

In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 44 already displayed.

Is this ^^^^ what you mean by supplemental results?

I don't think Similar Pages show pages that are duplicating content. It just shows pages with similar content. Or somehow related with a certain website.
