How to get your pages out from the Google supplemental index


Follow the advice below and you will have a 96% possibility of getting all of your pages out from Google's supplemental index within 30 days or less. Keep in mind, this can take a solid effort of your stuff and it is time consuming. However, it'll pay off in a big way as your traffic levels will spike by getting out of the supplemental index. Why am I so confident? Due to the 400 Supplemental Pages I tested on 47 different domains, only 16 pages remained in the SI. That means I am 96% sure. That is confidence.

Change the title.

Make it more compelling, update it, and address it like an advertisement. Remember, you're after a click-through here. You mayrather than a hyphen in the Title. I have seen some good movement by doing this, plus, it seems to command attention and improve click-through rate. Don't have more than one Title Tag and do not repeat your targeted keyword phrases in the Title.

Domain name/server.

Make sure your domain is either on its own IP address, or you control every domain on that IP. If you still virtually host, kick the habit and get your own server. Only have one domain? Get with some friends and go in on a server for all of you to share. If you want to get back control of your business, this is where it starts. Sharing an Ip with a mentally disturbed webmaster is simply asking for trouble. Don't virtually host.

Robots.txt file.

Verify that your robots.txt file is compliant. View my robots.txt to get an understanding of what your file should contain.

Crawlability.

How easy is it for a search engine to crawl your site? Do you use dynamically generated content? If your URLs have lots of "&", "%", etc., then you may have a substantial amount of trouble. The good news is there are mod_rewrite scripts available to handle the issue and make your site more crawlable.

CSS.

Do not place any hidden text, or hidden code in your CSS file. While GoogleBot can't detect many CSS tricks, the number one reason for bans on sites with CSS tricks are competitors completing SPAM reports. Do not take a chance. Ensure that your CSS file is definitely an external file; place it in another folder and exclude that folder from being spidered in your robots.txt file. Why? Because Google grabs the CSS files during their indexing.

Heading tag.

Change your heading tag. If you don't have a heading tag (either a 1, 2 or 3) add one. Do NOT under any circumstance have more than one H1 Tag. Why? For the same reason the front page of a newspaper will not have two headlines. It's not effective. The heading tags should be descriptive of text below it.

Content.

Severely modify the content on the page. Update the text and add new relevant content. Change the formatting. Make sure you use CSS, so you don't have a slew of font along with other formatting tags that often bloat the file size. That is a bad thing.

Directory submissions.

Submit your site to all relevant directories in your category/industry. Reference my updated directory guide for a complete list and grades.

Press release.

Submit a press release and have the release posted on a major news feed for example Yahoo! News. Why Yahoo!? Because Google actively spiders Yahoo! News. Which press release distribution should you use? The best one for your money is PRWeb. Don't get suckered for that free press release distribution networks. While the statement "promotion can be found that is free" is true, the statement "all good promotion comes with a price tag" is also true. Promote your business the right way; it will pay off in the long run.
