Yes, that is the only advantage probably... It's harder on folks not knowing they are in there in the first place though.

Not only that... it's impossible to measure the supplemental ratio now as well.

I'm not sure if this is exactly a good thing or not. I noticed today that several sites of mine had apparantly come entirely out of the supplemental index... then I did some searching on the web to see what was up. I found this: http://searchengineland.com/070731-215828.php I hope the link is allowe...

Buggynews dot com has just now as of yesterday or today come out of supplemental for some reason. Not sure why, as I haven't changed anything in a long while. Another thing... another site of mine has also come entirely out of supplemental at the same time as Buggynews. Coincidence?? Did google just...

Excellent... and as always, thank you again!

Yeah, mine is huge... how can they be removed in that case?

I noticed the forum links here on the page source files are much more descriptive: Example of my forum: <link rel="chapter forum" href="buggynews-sponsors-vf50.html" title="BuggyNews Sponsors" > <link rel="chapter forum" href="forum-news-and-information-v...

What I keep finding is that it's a mix of old and new topics that come in and out of supplemental. It's actually a mess. I can't seem to make heads or tails of which ones are coming out, and for what reason. I'll have topics only a few weeks old that are already supplemental and then very old topics...

That's a good idea. I just want folks to be careful in renaming their forums, as it would be easy to do this without realizing it. I'm not trying to take anything away from an awesome mod out there... Just need a little education for everyone on this one little bug that I stumbled upon on accident a...

If you want, I will take Buggynews out of the tittle again, and you will see that both links will work without redirection... But I would rather not, as this forum is well spidered and I will temporarily open myself up to dupe content issues with gods over at google. The old tittle becomes what you ...

Well, let's state things a bit more clearly. If you shorten titles, you won't have a dupe, you will be redirected, the only case that causes trouble is when you add some text at the very beginning of it, keeping the end untouched. If you change a letter or only change it from lower to upper case, i...

Sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought we were still talking about external links to my page.

Google lists 496 external links from other sites to various pages within buggynews in the utilities within Webmaster Tools.

URLs submitted via sitemaps on google tools = 12547

Here is what I want to know...

How the heck does the guy at gokartsrus.com and go-cartsrus.com get away with this??

These two sites have mirror content, but he is VERY well indexed and very well ranked in his niche.

Yes.

Right... so this becomes an issue whenever someone shortens the beginning of their URL... In this case, that was what I wanted to do. I'll have to move it back now, as I have 2 dupe URLS happening here in this thread right now. If I put the original wording back they should redirect, I believe. Stra...

I tried a 3rd computer, and it does in fact appear to be broken after shortening the forum description.

Above 3 different links up above now all go to the same page and appear as dupe content without redirection.
