Supplemental index experimental 5

Hi all, just did some more basic linking into www.enterwork.net/directory/ and will wait a couple of weeks to see what happens on the supps.

At the moment the pages that are not supplemental float betwoeen 8 and 56. It will be interesting to see what happenes.

These new inbounds are from 8 seperate c-span ips and from apges that have some poor relevance to directories.

Supplemental test, part 4

I just did a quick site: comand on enterwork.net/directory/ and have seen a significant improvement.

This directory now has 58 pages out of the supplemental index. This leads to an interesting question.

On a supplemental page, once a quality inbound link is gotten, how long does it take to get that page out of the supps index?

Movement in the supplemental experiment.

Well in 8 days the directory I have used to do some basic supplemetal index tests on has seen some movement.

Having driven 13 links into the top tier category structures the enterwork.net directory from a single source, this very blog, and from the same post, we can know see that the number of none supplemental indexed pages has changed from 9 to 19.

In fact its these very top tier categories that have come out of the supplemental index. I will wait a couple of days to see if this moves any more, and if not, I will look at what next step to take.

The basic information

admin — Tue, 01 May 2007 09:20:21 +0000

The directory has only 9 none supplemental pages.

Yahoo shows 369 backlinks into the index page of the directory, google 6.

Experiment to get a directory out of the supplemental index

Ok, so we all have seen the vast majority of directories go supplemental in the last few months, as Google gets better at cleaning its SERPs of the more spammy directories. So I have decided to do a little experiment.

The enterwork directory went supplemental serveral months ago. As a simple test, I am going to give each of the 13 different top tier categories an inbound link form this post. And I will track dates and timing of google caching these backlinks and if its enough to get 2 tier pages out of the supplemental.

The links are:

So let the test begin!
