I did a few of tests on this and it doesn't seem accurate. Unless the majority of our sites we manage all of a sudden fell 90% into the supplemental index which is not what we had when the label was available.
Moments ago I tested this on my blog and a few pages (mainly categories) that were supplemental showed up. I'm familar with those pages being supplemental... so far it looks like this worked for me.
I then went to tutoring911.com my wife's site which is 14 - 15 pages and repeated the process. 10 of her pages showed up in this scan and I know this to be wrong unless like Oggy said, 90% of the site fell into supplemental results over the last week.
Maybe G has already jumped on this one?
Mike's continuing to update as we get feedback. You can check the comments section of the blog post for more.
jfj3rd, would you mind sharing how you're formulating that search? We're not seeing any supplemental results for her site using this query: [-site:tutoring911.com/* site:tutoring911.com/]
Hi Susan,
I'm emailing Michael with the sites I tested. I will be glad to help you find a solution on this any way I can!
Bruce is just writing something other SEOs know.
site: yourcoolwebsite.com **** -asssdsd
Still works for me.
Just because Google says something does not mean it's true.
I have never once experienced supplemental results, and there fore don't understand this tool :)
- Thanks Susan and Mike, good stuff, and something I think many people were looking for.
