Google's supplemental index question

[gennsearch]

some of my customers pages are in Google's supplemental index, the pages are don't seem to be duplicate, the titles are different and so is the description so I don't know why they would be in the supplemental index.

The pages that were done are new but the site is doing very well in Google.

any suggestions



Thanks,

the pages are don't seem to be duplicate, the titles are different and so is the description so I don't know why they would be in the supplemental index. In addition to the symptoms you listed, there's lack of inbound links. Any page, but especially a deep page, with few links is a strong candidate for the supplemental index.

thanks for your help the pages are 3 levels deep, do you think that better link structure to those pages would help get it out of the supplemental index.

These pages are done with a CMS so it might be an issue with the links,

Yes, you might help the cause by giving the pages more prominence via moving them closer to root -- but still, if they don't have any inbound links, there's no guarantee you'll get out.

I got the pages out, I changed the titles and descriptions on the pages and directed some new links from some of my blogs and there out now. Hope they stay that way.


Thanks
