The Apache server provides directory-level configuration via .htaccess files. This file can override Apache default configuration and change it for the local directory. If you are not a lazy blogger, you may be intrested in some tips I recently discovered to optimize your .htaccess file in order to have better search engine position, avoid spam…

What is the search query you use for this?

Ipod Repair: Your last 2 posts made me wonder, how can you use it everyday if you lastly posted about the search query one has to use for this tool? :)
To use the tool, you need to insert your website’s or any other’s website URL (as how it tells you to), in order to find out the index ratio, by that I mean, you can find out a statistic in percentage of the pages that are indexed in google and those that are indexed as supplemental. Those that are indexed as supplemental are ‘not’ being shown in search results. In order to avoid this issue, you need to optimize your code and your website and pages’ importance, via linking.

I have a page with a number of articles. In the beginning I made every page as a .html file but went on to .asp files.
All my pages in .Html is in the main index while all the .Asp pages are not. How can that be?

Thomas, you will need to do some interlinking within your site. Interlinking means that your internal pages should link with each other. You can achieve this also by creating a sitemap where it includes all of yours pages. The sitemap link should be placed on all pages.

Wow cant believe it has taken me so long to find this tool, its a little scary to use when you see the results but non the less very handy information.

It gave me a bit of a strange result saying that the majority of my site is in the supplemental index. This is not true but I guess having several languages might give problems?
about 3 years ago
Pokeriot, if you have multi-language support, yes, it might be the problem since not all of your pages may be indexed. I’d suggest subscribing to Google’s webmaster tools and get a sitemap of your site’s URLs in there and then see which and what is where.
You can do so by making an account (or) using your existent gmail account: http://google.com/webmasters/tools/siteoverview

An excellent tool and thanks for making this freely available for everyone to use. I guess I now need to go off and build some more links to get my supplemental pages converted into the main index :)

I had not known about this concept until coming across this tool and post. It makes sense that one would want more of their pages to be listed in Google in the normal fashion, as opposed to being pushed to a lower category for most purposes. Their guidelines for staying out of the secondary area appear to be in place to guide sites away from poor site practices.

The mapelli tool is cool. I matches almost exactly what I found when I did the math myself (which could be done like this)
Here’s how to find pages (and the total number) that Google knows about (example site Time4Learning.com):
(don’t use the quotes)
Search: “site:www.Time4Learning.com” Total listing: 560
Search: “site:www.Time4Learning.com/*” Main listing: 367
Subtract to get the supplementary listing: 193
(Almost identical result to mapelli)
Next question. Any simple method or tool for sorting thru the google results to find the 193 pages that aren’t in the main index?
Conceptually, I see two approaches to finding out which of my pages are in the supplementary index:
1. I take the total listing and copy them into a document. But, since Google returns results 10 at a time, I will have to do this 56 times. Then, I’ll take the main listing results and one by one, remove them from my list until I find the 193 that are left.
2. The webmaster tool can be used to find the pages that have zero internal or external links. While these pages might actually have links, this is google’s way of communicating that these pages have been put into the supplementary index.
Once I know which pages are in the index, I imagine I’ll see why they are in the index. They might be:
- duplicate or nearly duplicate pages
- pages with no link support
- pages with no text content (all graphics or flash)
Anybody got any suggestions or ideas on this?

Hi,
While I was reading an SEO tactics book, I came to found that there are SEO tools that can help a web owner or developer to optimize his website or blog. I found a firefox add-on ‘Rank Checker’. Is there any other tool that you think is even much better than this. Paid or Free.

What does it mean if the ratio is negative? Does that mean I have serious supplementary index issues?
about 2 years ago
I have been using this tool a lot but nowadays Google doesn’t separate results into two indexes. Main index and supplemental index is the same thing.
and negative doesn’t mean anything. it just means that the way this software calculates results is simply outdated.
