Supplemental results have been eliminated?

September 17th, 2007

We get rid of supplemental results? Let’s see…

Yesterday, while I’m trying to explain to someone how important is that title, description and keywords must be different from every page. And not just anyway, but they must begin different. I.e., for title, not “company name – product name xx” for all products, but “product name xx – company name”. Same for description and keywords. I want to explain her that in first case, with fixed part at first for title, description and keywords, most indexed pages goes to the supplemental results. And I want to give her an example and show in Google how they appear. And surprise! No supplemental results! Even if she has over 100 pages with same title, description and keywords. Hmmm!

Later, I found this news on Google’s Official Blog: Supplemental goes mainstream.
The article appears on 31 July 2007. This means that supplemental results don’t exist anymore from 1,5 month?

However, from what I read in article, supplemental index doesn’t disappear. Just the label “supplemental results” for supplemental. So, there are still many differences in ranking pages from main index and supplemental index, but now, we aren’t able to see those differences.
