Supplemental Outranking Indexed Result

Supplemental outranks a more specific indexed result = Penalty?

[gabidi]

A while back mydomain.com was previously parked under mydomain.NET . mydomain.COM and .NET have the same exact homepage and mydomain.COM homepage had all it's links pointing to the pages on mydomain.NET

I have now changed that to a 301 from mydomain.com to mydomain.net to avoid duplicates on the homepage.

Google pickuped the 301 with no problems, mydomain.com is now supplemental (understandable), however something interesting has come up:

mydomain.NET has a PR6 homepage that contains the term "blue widgets" and a link to an internal page that specializes in "blue widgets" which is indexed in G.
mydomain.COM , the now supplemental , also contained the term "blue widgets"

The interesting part : A Google search for "blue widgets" returns the supplemental mydomain.COM result outranking the more specialized mydomain.NET bluewidgets page! What gives?

Is this an indicator that mydomain.NET is under some penalty? Is it time to file a re inclusion request?

PS This wasn't the case prior to June 27th update.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

It means having a supplemental will cause problems and may cause a very bad problem. It happens all the time, so it isn't likely a penalty (although in any specific case a penalty might be the reason).

Sounds like your confusing google... It might take a while for google to figure it out. I do agree with Steve though.

Sounds like something i was asking the other day.

Granted, i discussed much more than that, but your 301 sounds similar to what has happened to me. Dont know if it helps, but good luck, i know what that is like.

I am also currently having an issue where my main page is outranking my targeted pages. A keyword shows up once on the main page along with non-related content, yet the page about the keyword is not ranked.

This happened on July 27th. It is currently happening to nearly all my content pages. Main page is outranking content pages. I don't get it either.

If it ranks, then it sends you visitors. The 301 redirect channels them onto the correct page of the site, on the correct domain. Quit worrying; that supplemental result is a benefit to you at present.
