site:command changes - my supplemental results almost gone

[the_nerd]

I had been worrying about my site for months. 40000 pages indexed, great rankings, tons of google traffic, but only 3-5 pages outside the supplemental stuff. Was this some hint by google that something was wrong? Was the alg broken?

I looked at my site thoroughly and found quite a lot of things that might raise eyebrows allthough unintentinally. I fixed some broken 301s and made some pages off-limits for gogb.

Couple of weeks later the picture changed big time: now the site:command says "40.000 results", not mentioning any supplemental results, but I cannot go past result 1000.

Surprise: all other sites that I'm intested in all but lost their supplemental results. Some sites that where 100/700 now are 698/700 ...

Does anybody else see this "lack" of supplementals?

The "1 to 1 of 1" stuff, noted for the last month or more, now seems to have been cleaned up a bit.

Previously you had to click on the "omitted results" link to see any more listings.

I still see Supplemental Results on a lot of sites.

I note a number of sites where only half to three-quarters of the pages that exist are actually listed in the site searches. These are sites where duplicate content issues were fixed years ago.

Here's an interesting thing I haven't seen before today. For the past few weeks, I've used the command inurl:www.example.com to get a list of pages that weren't marked as supplemental. It had seemed a more accurate representation. Also I didn't seem to get the weird counts using inurl that I did with site: (1 of 625 pages on a 9 page site, etc.)

Anyway, this morning I am seeing supplementals show up in the inurl command, plus those crazy counts.

I normally don't get Supplementals using inurl: but I have seen them before now on some sites.

site: is still behaving very strangely, omitting the home page and other important ones even though they are indexed and ranking. At least inurl: shows them (for now)

Try using site:domain.com *** -lkjs to see your Google supplimental results only. The four letters after the four stars are intentionally gibberish. Any four letters will work, so long as they do not form a word or phrase.
