How Do Supplemental Results Affect Traffic?

[mzadorian]

Since September, I have been barely getting any traffic from Google, and I just noticed on most of the links, it reads "Supplemental Result" next to it. What is this and how do it affect me?

[diamondgrl]

Supplemental results are only displayed if Google does not have sufficient search hits in its main index. Therefore, it's relatively rare that they will be displayed and, you guessed it, traffic will be quite low.

the same here and I now get 0 hits from Google.com from 30.000 unique a day from Google alone, so its bad and I just wait untill Google fix there stuff, its hard but there is nothing to do, as you also can see on manytopics about hijacking redirects.

We have the same content running under several domains (due to historic reasons and not ill meaning). Since I herad of Googles "duplicate content" pebalty, I installed permanent redirects to our main domain.

For some obscure search phrases, Google lists our main site as regular result and ALL of the other domains as "supplemental" result.

Since the main site comes first, and the SERPS for the other domains are identical, we get almost no traffic from the supplementals.

Due page hijacking, many of my sites pages dropped out the google's main index since July and now all the pages are in the supplemental index.
All my traffic are basically gone. Google needs to fix the redirect & hijacking bugs in their systems. May be they out partying!

It does look like Google dont care about this problem, so maybe hijacking is the new way to get into serps, maybe its time to look into how this done.

A normal pure HTML static get filtered out of serps

A dynamic tracker2.php site get listed on serps, well that must be the new way.

Sorry state of affairs, this hijacking thing.

I just made a search inurl:tracker2 php = 386.000 results, PLEASE this just is a pure performance.

I made the same search on Yahoo.com 0 results only 6 with tracker something in url.

Well who is the no.1 search engine

So is there anythign that i can do to get out of this mess, went from 3 thousand hits a day to 1-5 hits that are complete jokes.
