    How to calculate supplemental index ratio?[b]

    1. Go to google and search for site:yoursite.com , example google.com/search?q=site%3Ameabhi.com .. It says [b]36 results (This includes all the pages regular and supplemental)
    2. Now do site:yoursite.com/* example google.com/search?q=site%3Ameabhi.com%2F* (It says 8, this is the regular pages only) OR even you do a search in aol for site:yoursite.com search.aol.com/aol/search?query=site%3Ameabhi.com (It also says 8)
    3. Now (36-8)/36 = 28/36 = 77% is the supplement index ratio for meabhi.com, which may be quite high

    Or you can also use http://www.mapelli.info/tools/supplemental-index-ratio-calculator/?domain=www.meabhi.com

    Supplement pages are not all that bad these days but still you can get a better ratio. Tedster explains what a supplement page is all about.

    How to reduce supplement ratio for your site?
    I did it as experiment google.com/site:meabhi.com+-site:meabhi.com/* to see the pages that are tagged supplement now I will like to eliminate it one by one. I offered my site to our technical team for experimenting with supplement results as it is quite new. I will post more about the pages that have gone to supplement results.

    I had this post with me. I will let you know the latest status on supplement pages soon. Do let me know if you need more help on it.
