Check your Supplemental Results

I don't remember where I read it, but google has posted a way to check your sites supplemental results

You can search in google

site:forum.vbulletinsetup.com/&

The important part is the trailing & sign.

I just shut down the profiles to guest to help focus the bots, but you can see I have almost 4k in supplemental results :beat:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%...ient=firefox-a

I've added a disallow to the robot text for the archive as well.

Anyways... I thought I would let you know how to check how bad your supplemental results are

Question though, what exactly does this look at, what are "supplemental results"?

Re: Check your Supplemental Results

I think it's best to keep it as low as possible.
