Google drops the “Supplemental Result” Tag

supplemental results tag gone

So Google has decided to remove the Supplemental Result tag from search results. Why doesn’t Google want us to know if our sites are in supplemental hell or not? My only guess is that people have figured out how to get out of the supplemental result hell fairly quickly now.

The distinction between the main and the supplemental index is therefore continuing to narrow. Given all the progress that we’ve been able to make so far, and thinking ahead to future improvements, we’ve decided to stop labeling these URLs as “Supplemental Results.” Of course, you will continue to benefit from Google’s supplemental index being deeper and fresher.

Supplemental result pages are often pages that are very old and or have duplicate content. When a site was placed in the supplemental index it was refered to as “Google Hell” as these pages would only show up in the SERPs if there was very little competition. Now this is good for the long tail keyword sites, but not so great for mainstream popular searches.

Google keeps saying that the supplemental results are not a bad thing. But most SEOs are very skeptical of that claim. Supplemental results are in no way equal to normal Google results. From what I have heard, Google will be moving the supplemental status check up into the Google Webmaster Tools.

The method to check for supplemental results is like the following:

site:security-protocols.com.com **** -asssdsd

Obviously this doesnt do much since the “Supplemental Result” Tag has been removed.
