Google recently created the new page label "Supplemental". What are supplemental pages? Why are they labeled "Supplemental"?

This is the first I've heard of this. Where exactly can I find them?

Ok ... just search anything in Google. If you look closely, you should find labels like "Cache". You should also find "Supplemental" label or sign or mark or classification or whatever you want to call. Not all listed pages have this label, but some do. Do you find it?

Ya now I see it.
Thats very strange. It tends to have the size of the page next to "Supplemental" maybe google cuts down the page size?

Some speculate that they are less important than regular pages. Some say that there is not much difference. I haven't quite figured out what it is, but I'm guessing that it ought to mean something; otherwise, what's the point of labeling some pages "Supplemental"?

If you do this

site:mysite.com and click on like page 10 you will start to see the "supplemental" pages at the end.

Supplemental pages will not be shown unless there are no nosupplemental pages. This is defiantely going to hurt you if your pages are supplemental. The way to avoid them is to avoid duplicate content.

I suspect that Google's index has just grown so large that this is a means of bringing query execution time down again. Wink That's my guess anyway!

I think that it's one of reasons.

Certainly they don't keep all our pages indexed, do they? I'm sure if index size was no issue at all they'd just have everything we put out there! Confused

I think supplementary pages do exist in the index, they just aren't given as much importance, majorly because they dont have many inbound links from different site. Basically, its caused because people link to their site's homepage, with little if any deep links(to the in-site-pages).

That's my guts feeling. They have hard time making their index bigger and bigger and they're essentially finding a workaround.
