Since my last posts about how you clean up your WordPress blog to avoid duplicate content and a vigorous discussion on supplemental results and WordPress blogs, I decided to check again today to see the results of my changes.
What I Changed
See supplemental index fix post about what I changed and how I made sure there was only one occurrence of any piece of content on the site.
I did this about a month ago. I still have many pages in supplemental results, but if you look closely, they are all junk pages like tag pages and comments results. Stuff I, nor you, would care about.
How To Check Your Supplemental Results (ONLY supplemental pages and not mixed with your good listings!)
Type this into your Google search bar, changing to your domain name of course:
site:www.yoursite.com *** -sljktf
You are welcome, of course, to do this with my site and see why I no longer care about the fact I have that many pages in supplemental results. They are all old pages and stupid things like comments and other things I don’t even know why Google would waste storage space on.
They are pages that don’t make me any money, that I don’t want people landing on instead of my high value pages, and are generally junk stuff.
The pages I wished to get out of supplemental hell are now out – in about a month.
Sweet! All is good again in FTR world. Now go fix your blog – the proof has arrived!
