What is supplemental result?
How should i remove site from supplemental result?

[jumpenjuhosaphat]

Supplemental results are the rusults that show up after the regular results in Googles search results. These are the pages that are deemed to be less important or less relevant. To remove a page from the supplemental results, apply the same seo to that page as if it were your home page. Or you could just not worry about it.

What's a "supplemental result?"

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.

If you're a webmaster, please note that the index in which a site is included is completely automated; there's no way to select or change the index in which a site appears. Please also be assured that the index in which a site is included doesn't affect its PageRank. For tips on maintaining a crawler-friendly site, please visit our webmaster guidelines.

According to the above, there's supposedly no way to influence the indexing of your web pages.

I believe otherwise. Using relevant and unique keywords tag and meta-descriptions on your pages with unique content and then adding some supporting external deep links can get your supplemental pages re-indexed.

The lower the PR of the linking page, the closer to the root the better. A PR2/3 home page link will usually do, but could take longer. If you can get higher PR links, it doesn't seem to matter how deep the page is. PageRank weighs little in ranking web pages (SERPs), but is a factor in indexing.

From what I've seen, it's best to add the deep links after you've updated the pages. Don't want g-bot to gag on leftovers; give him something new to digest.

Supplemental result are part of Google's auxillary index. Sites going to this dreaded hell contains:
1. Duplicate Content - take someone elses content, get sent to Google Hell (Supplemental Results)
2. No Content - create pages with no content (remember the days of directories that would create 1 million pages with only 100 listing?) - empty pages get sent to Google Hell.
3. Orphaned web pages. Pages that no one links to, including yourself.

Matt Cutts discussed supplemental results (on his blog) in the Infrastructure Status Report for January 2007.

As a reminder, supplemental results aren’t something to be afraid of; I’ve got pages from my site in the supplemental results, for example. A complete software rewrite of the infrastructure for supplemental results launched in Summer o’ 2005, and the supplemental results continue to get fresher. Having urls in the supplemental results doesn’t mean that you have some sort of penalty at all; the main determinant of whether a url is in our main web index or in the supplemental index is PageRank. If you used to have pages in our main web index and now they’re in the supplemental results, a good hypothesis is that we might not be counting links to your pages with the same weight as we have in the past. The approach I’d recommend in that case is to use solid white-hat SEO to get high-quality links (e.g. editorially given by other sites on the basis of merit).

I think going forward, you’ll continue to see the supplemental results get even fresher, and website owners may see more traffic from their supplemental results pages. To check out the current freshness of the supplemental results, I grabbed 20 supplemental pages from my site and checked out their crawl date using the "cache:" command and looking in the cached page header. The oldest supplemental results page that I saw was from September 7th, 2006 (and I only saw 2-3 pages from September; most were from December or November). The most recent of the 20 pages was from January 7, 2007, which shows that supplemental results can be quite fresh at this point.

It seems to be mostly down to a lack of links / low PR. Also duplicate content problems, such as similar tags and content on your pages.

Supplemental Listings
You probably know this..

I'm thinking it doesn't have a lot to do with PR though......



That's the only example I could find, but I was previously under the impression that supplemental results were typically pages with PR that's low enough to show up as a 0 on the toolbar.

Big help, Supplemental results are more on content. Let's also add additional link building for orphaned pages.

Which can help to get out from supplemental results: original contents or inbound links to a page poor of contents?

[jumpenjuhosaphat]

It's best to try to have both. Although I think that original content is the biggest determining factor of the supplemental results, having links to any page is almost always helpful.

Both, it is nothing if you have no inbound links with it, as well as original content.
