Google Supplemental Results - The End

Webmaster can stop worrying about Google’s supplemental results – they’re now dead. Google has lifted the veil between indices. (i.e. the main index and the supplemental index)

Google introduced its supplemental results in 2003. In what the company then called ” a new Google experiment,” a pair of indexes were created, one for the search engine’s main results, and a second for more obscure queries.

Many Google Gurus suggested that pages in the Google supplemental index often had certain things in common: few or no quality backlinks, orphaned pages, URLs with too many parameters, low PageRank, duplicate content, etc.

Google’s Yonatan Zunger announced that “the elimination of the artificial difference between indices” was complete.

Zunger writes, “rather than searching some part of our index in more depth for obscure queries, we’re now searching the whole index for every query.

“From a user perspective, this means that you’ll be seeing more relevant documents and a much deeper slice of the web, especially for non-English queries. For webmasters, this means that good-quality pages that were less visible in our index are more likely to come up for queries.”

This is really a good news from Google. Though many webmaster may think how Google will now rank the web pages in the main index.
