Placement in Supplemental search results

Can I feel good being the first supplemental search result?

One of my new sites is a large and growing site.

Most all of the newly added content gets put into the supplemental index within a week or so.

This new content performs very well during that new born week.

I have noticed that my content that goes supplimental is most always listed first in the supplemental results.

Can I feel good about this? Does this suggest that I am next in line to come out of the Supplemental index? Or are articles listed in the supplemental index by another standard such as date?

From what I've seen, there is no dependable pattern to the order that pages get listed (I assume you are doing some kind of site: query). Sometimes it looks like it's one thing, but then it shifts. It sometimes seems to be based on the date of first detection of the url, from the most recent to oldest -- but that doesn't always hold up, either.

That might be it Ted.

I am clicking on refers in a custom log program that are hyper linked to the search result and viewing the serps.

All of these pages are fairly new.

Date, newest to oldest makes sense..., as much as it is a disappointment to me.

Thank you,
