Hi
Many thanks for the tool. We run a Bed & Breakfast site in Edinburgh, Scotland http://www.budgetscot.com but your tool shows 95% in supplemental! is this correct? We did have considerable internal duplicate issues with our CMS, but have substantially reduced that… hopefully enough to get out of supplemental hell :)
Much appreciated!
Thanks, but the tool still needs tweaking. I submitted a single-page site http://www.readmyips.com (noncommercial) and the tool says it is not in the index. A site command shows that it is.
Great tool! But now I see I have a huge ratio for some sites, darn. Well, I’ll use it from now on and see if I can lower that beast down hehe
Great work, blogging, developing, do you ever stop? :)
I’m sure that was a great tool in its day, however Google no longer shows the supplemental index in its SERPs. A pain I know, but what you going to do?
Unless that is, you know a why to find the supplemental index still? As far as I know there is no way anymore.
Oh, so maybe that’s why I have 100% from that tool? Because I am ‘certain’ I have indexed pages, not all, but I do have done. Ok, thanks for the tip.
Francesco, maybe you should take a closer look at your ratio tool. I love it, but seems it’s not working properly, or at all.
guys, the tool should be still accurate… there’s still a difference in the results given by the site: operator and the “fake” inallurl operator… and that should be the number of supplemental results.
keep in mind that results may change slightly since we depend on the approximation given by google…
Thanks for the post.
The tool you have made is very good
and also your blog is also good in which people can get the information about supplemental index.
I can relate to the CMS issue. I sometimes will 5 different version of one page. I would reccomend the robots or nofollow to get rid of the dup content.
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?
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)
you can find them if you use yahoo.com for search NOT Google because Google don t list all sites;-))
Now we had start the http://www.gutschein-codes.eu and waiting for results
This web site is very popular in Bulgaria also, especially Your Supplemental checker. I wrote an article about it with quote and URL to http://www.mapelli.info/tools/.....calculator
Thank You very much! This tool is useful for every SEO and web developer.
Greetings from Bulgaria!
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.
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’.
Good work on this tool although i feel it may be a little dated now there are other more modern ones out there now, but then thats the nature of the technology business
There is a Firefox add-on called “Wordtracker SEO Blogger” that opens a sidebar where you type in keywords while you are posting anything anywhere, and it gives you keyword ranking. Then you add the ones you want to use in your post and it tracks how many times you’ve used it as you write.
I didn’t know about supplemental pages. However I do now… lucky I have 0% for my website :) Thanks for the post… will regularly keep an eye on and check for other websites…. its on the checklist!
If the people at FF care then I will get the designer to change the logo to something more boring in nature, maybe snagging the SEO part from my site logo.
it looks really good, but it seems that the tools doesn’t work.
It gives me the following error “There are no indexed pages for [domain name]”
any suggestions?
Cool - I talked with Google engineers at SES and they emphatically said supplemental results don’t exist. Actually their exact words were “we took that dog out back and shot it”.

Very well done! What a great and easy way to calculate your supp index.
Keep up the great work!
Something’s not right:
According to your tool all but 2 of my pages are in the supplemental index - 99%!
After picking myself off the floor, I checked directly with Google, and found only 4 of my pages in supplemental, with the rest in the main index.
?
Chris,
There were some issues with the duplicated results, now the tool has been updated and should provide more accurate results :)
thanks

Thanks,

Great work digitalsoul! http://www.adiazar.com has 16.67%.
Which is good enough…

Francesco, maybe you should take a closer look at your ratio tool. I love it, but seems it’s not working properly, or at all.
So is the tool still working?
Just entered my URL:
http://www.vacation-rental-wonderland.com/
I’m 99% supplemental. OUCH!
Oh, then Colin should review his comment. I see I have 99,25% now, so it must be working?
I think we need Francesco’s comment/opinion here :)
Awesome tool! Thanks for your share.
I checked my website, too. The ratio is now higher, than the result a few weeks before. Other domains I checked show the same characteristics.
I have been playing around with it and the numbers are changing. But are they accurate?
Does anyone know how we can actually see the pages that are supplemental so we can work on getting them out of the index?
guys, the tool should be still accurate… there’s still a difference in the results given by the site: operator and the “fake” inallurl operator… and that should be the number of supplemental results.
keep in mind that results may change slightly since we depend on the approximation given by google…
Yes, indeed it works! I have tried it again. More links are being indexed and the ratio has decreased.
Thanks Francesco
Thank you very much for this! It’s an amazing tool for an issue often overlooked in SEO.
I’m going to link to this post in DP forums if you don’t mind?
Not sure if this is useful to anyone but you can also check which pages of your site are in the main index using:
site:example.com/*
A great tool. Thanks. I tried it for the website I chose, it works well.
I can’t reach the tool… It seems that the URL doesnt work :S
It is a useful tool now for me to verify a website.
I just have doubts if the pages will be reduce. For me the more the pages are the better.
Very well done!
What a great SEO tool…. i will blog about it!
Uhhh.. I have to think about it… Great tool. Bookmarking…
Apparently I have 0% when I used the ratio tool. Great!
Thanks for the tool, keep up the great work.
Thanks for the post.
The tool you have made is very good
and also your blog is also good in which people can get the information about supplemental index.

Thanks so much for the very interesting tool. So valuable.
umm wow thats awesome. I love that tool. Great for seo
wow I need to improve on my ratio. My issue is duplicate content…My CMs creates 2 versions of every page :(
I can relate to the CMS issue. I sometimes will 5 different version of one page. I would reccomend the robots or nofollow to get rid of the dup content.
Yeah I am currently using the robots to fend off the issue.
I love this tool!
I use this tool everyday!!
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? :)

I would love if this was a more active blog…i’ve gottin alot of good things from it!
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.

I’d be interested to know how this tool works. Apparently my site has over 50% in supplemental!
Nice tool - really useful - thanks!
Just used this across a few of my sites and got some interesting results - looks like I’m going to have to spend some time fixing
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?

Mine is 71%
Thanks, nice tool.
Good script and works fine for me, thanks for telling!
For me, supplemental index is a bit high.
Whoa great tool! I will be using this once in a while to see how I can improve my rating

Very usefull tool . Pages in supplemental results mean :
-dupplicate content
-no text on page
-bad internal linking
-bad external linking
Nice tool.

thanks for the tool tip! nice article.
Thanks for this tool, it’s really usefull.
What does it mean if the ratio is negative? Does that mean I have serious supplementary index issues?
Thanks for the tool.
Kaspersky AV identifies the script “http://www.mapelli.info/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/sociable/description_selection.js” as Trojan.JS.Pakes.bh
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.
it is really nice Supplemental Index Ratio Calculator….

Is this tool still working as i am having problems getting it going?
ha it seems you have researched a lot.Great work.
Interesting to see that for certain domains, all of the pages are indexed correctly and for some, only half of it.
I actively use SEO Quake for my needs currently. Good reporting, keyword density information, PR, etc. at a glance.
This works well still although i prefer traffic travis suite of tools has a great intuitive userablity to it with great raw data

Greetings from Italy. Thank you for the list, I thought some of the websites also mentioned in comments were very interesting.
99% of my pages are in the supplemental index, according to this tool. I doubt that.
well… there’s a big text saying “Without http://” … it means you should not put http:// before the domain name
Очень полезный ресурс. Только не совсем понятно, как избавляться от соплей так, чтобы страницы в индексе остались

Does anyone know if this tool is still working? I tried it out, and it says no pages are index, really weird result :(
Till then,

This looks like a great tool thanks for sharing it.
such tool will be greatly useful specially for indexing for big sites like dynamic and portal websites.
