Check your Supplemental Results

**Brandon Sheley** · 08-07-2007, 10:58 PM

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:

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

679.

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

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

I have been checking my site and hell of a lot of pages are flagged as supplemental. This includes almost all of gallery

Hmmm Looks like time to disable member urls via robots.txt. Btw any idea on how to get the gallery out of supplemental. A lot of threads are also into the supplemental results.

EDIT: omg, this is a bit of a shock :P
