Letter from N R Narayanamurthy on working late.

2007-10-15T10:46:00.000+05:30

To: Dear All,

It's half past 8 in the office but the lights are still on...
PCs still running, coffee machines still buzzing...
and who's at work? Most of them??? Take a closer look...
All or most specimens are ??-something male species of the human
race...
Look closer... again all or most of them are bachelors...
and why are they sitting late? Working hard? No way!!!
Any guesses???
Let's ask one of them...
Here's what he says... "What's there 2 do after going home... here we
get to surf, AC, phone, food, coffee.. that is why I am working late...
importantly no bossssssss!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the scene in most research centers and software companies and
other off-shore offices.
Bachelors "time-passing" during late hours in the office just bcoz they
say they've nothing else to do...
Now what r the consequences... read on...
"Working"(for the record only) late hours soon becomes part of the
institute or company culture.
With bosses more than eager to provide support to those "working" late
in the form of taxi vouchers, food vouchers and of course good
feedback,(oh, he's a hard worker... goes home only to change..!!).They aren't helping things too... To hell with bosses who don't understand the difference between "sitting" late and "working" late!!!
Very soon, the boss start expecting all employees to put in extra
working hours.
So, My dear Bachelors let me tell you, life changes when u get married
and start having a family... office is no longer a priority, family is...
and that's when the problem starts... becoz u start having commitments at
home too.
For your boss, the earlier "hardworking" guy suddenly seems to become a
"early leaver" even if u leave an hour after regulartime... after doing
the same amount of work.
People leaving on time after doing their tasks for the day are labeled
as work-shirkers...
Girls who thankfully always (its changing nowadays... though) leave on
time are labeled as "not up to it". All the while, the bachelors pat their
own backs and carry on "working" not realizing that they r spoiling the
work culture at their own place and never realize that they wuld have to
regret at one point of time.

* So what's the moral of the story?? *
* Very clear, LEAVE ON TIME!!!
* Never put in extra time " *unless really needed *"
* Don't stay back un-necessarily and spoil your company work culture
which will in turn cause inconvenience to you and your colleagues.
There are hundred other things to do in the evening..
Learn music...
Learn a foreign language...
try a sport... TT, cricket.........
importantly Get a girl friend or guy friend, take him/her around
town...

* And for heaven's sake net cafe rates have dropped to an all-time low
(plus, no fire-walls) and try cooking for a change.

Take a tip from the Smirnoff ad: *"Life's calling, where are you??"*
Please pass on this message to all those colleagues And please do it
before leaving time, don't stay back till midnight to forward this!!!

ITS A TYPICAL INDIAN MENTALITY THAT WORKING FOR LONG HOURS MEANS VERY HARD WORKING & 100% COMMITMENT ETC.
PEOPLE WHO REGULARLY SIT LATE IN THE OFFICE DON'T KNOW TO MANAGE THEIR TIME.

SIMPLE !!!

Supplemental and Supplemental Result

2007-06-06T15:27:00.000+05:30

Supplemental and Supplemental Result

What is a Supplemental?

A supplemental result is defined by Google as follows:-

A supplemental result is just like a regular web result, except that it’s pulled from our supplemental index. We’re able to place fewer restraints on sites that we crawl for this supplemental index than we do on sites that are crawled for our main index. For example, the number of parameters in a URL might exclude a site from being crawled for inclusion in our main index; however, it could still be crawled and added to our supplemental index.

So, translated into plain english, supplementals are those pages that Google considers not important enough to include in their main index, but not bad / useless enough to not bother indexing at all.

How do I know if I have supplementals?

Firstly, go to www.google.com and enter the search site:www.yourdomain.com (replace yourdomain.com with your own url). The site: in front of your url is known as a search modifier - there are lots of different search modifiers, but in this case we’re using the site: modifier to tell google to return all pages it has indexed from www.yourdomain.com.

There are a few misconceptions about what constitutes a supplemental result. Some people think that supplementals are what is returned when you click on the “repeat the search with the omitted results included” link at the end of a google search. This is not the case.

That link actually shows ’similar’ content that google thinks might not be relevant to your search, and that content can be supplemental, or non-supplemental in nature.

Actually, a supplemental result is one where the words “Supplemental Result” appear just under the ’snippet’ (the short description of a site) in a google search. The supplemental results usually appear in the later pages of a site: search, following the main indexed pages.

Why Do I have Supplemental Results?

Supplemental usually occur for one of the following reasons (in order of increasing likelihood):-

Duplicate content from other sites - have you quoted content from other people’s websites? Does this content make up a large proportion of your page?

Google has sophisticated duplicate content filters that will detect this - remember, it’s ok to quote other sites, but make sure you also have enough good original content on your site to ensure Google doesn’t think you are just plagiarizing.

A general rule is no more than 50% of any given page should be quotes. If you are concerned about whether you may have too much duplicate content, head over to a site called copyscape (www.copyscape.com) and run your page through their tool.

Duplicate content from your own site - it is a sad fact that many content management systems (CMS) are great at helping beginners spend their time writing great original content rather than trying to learn web-design and html, but really lag behind when it comes to being search engine friendly.

Wordpress is one example of a CMS, and it will generally put duplicates of your content all over the joint - for instance, you’ll find this article on the front page of my blog, under the SEO discussions category, and in the archive for March on this site, and they’ll all have different URL’s.Find out about avoiding duplicate content in CMS like wordpress here.

Another cause of duplicate content can be Canonicalization issues - that is where the www and non-www versions of your site are indexed as seperate websites, when in fact they are the same.

Not enough pagerank - is your site more than a few months old? Do you have many other sites linking to you?

If the answer to any of these questions is no, it’s likely that you are in the ’sandbox’, a kind of purgatory between being indexed and being deindexed.

Some people claim the ’sandbox’ is an actual step one needs to go through (ie 3 months of not being indexed) while Google gains trust in your site, but that’s just not the case - it’s more about how many people link to you rather than any deliberate ‘temporary ban’ on indexing for new sites.

Don’t believe me? I have one site (www.jaisaben.com) which is almost entirely supplemental - that’s because it is very much a ‘niche’ site, and I haven’t bothered working on it too much - it’s been in the supplementals for months and months - eventually, one day, when it gets enough people linking to it, it will suddenly pop into the main index.

This site (www.yourdomain.com) is almost entirely indexed, and was within weeks of me starting it. Why? because it has content that other sites like linking to - as a result, Google considers it an important site, and makes pages I write available in their main index within days.

Is Having Supplementals a Bad Thing?

It can be. Are you presenting ‘niche’ content? If that’s the case, your pages will still be returned as answers to a google search whether they are supplemental or not.

If you are presenting mainstream content, supplementals can be a very bad thing. They make it very unlikely that your pages will be returned by a google search (other than using the site: modifier) at all.

Some people say that once your pages are in the supplemental index, they’ll be there for at least three months (until ’supplemental bot’ comes for a visit) or perhaps forever. This may have been true in the past, but not anymore. Whether the supplemental index is the end of the road for your site is completely up to you.

My advice? Everyone should aim to have at least 80% of their ‘content’ pages in the main index. It is not that difficult to do.

Supplementals 101 - Bot Behaviour

First, a bit of ‘bot behavioral psychology’ :). I’ve been observing bot behavior on this site, and others, for many years. During that time I’ve noticed they tend to behave in a set pattern:-

Bot behaviour and the ‘Infant Site’

When a site is first submitted, the bots will come and have a fairly deep look at the site, and usually within a few weeks you’ll find your index page listed.
From that point on, bots will continue to visit regularly, to check for interesting new content, but they seem unusually reticent to add new content to the google index.
At this early stage, it’s very difficult to get anything other than your main page indexed.
Googlebot will keep on visiting your site pretty regularly, and at some stage or another you’ll notice some of your other pages appearing in the index, but they will be mainly supplemental.
This frustrating cycle will continue forever unless you get the bot really interested by achieving a ‘threshold’ of new inlinks.
Once a site has a ‘threshold number of inlinks’ the bot will start to treat your site as ‘an adolescent site’.

Bot behaviour and the ‘Adolescent Site’

A site reaches adolescence when it has achieved a threshold number of other sites linking to it - this number doesn’t necessarily have to be large - even 1 link from an ‘authority site’ (page rank 3 or higher) seems to be enough to get a site to this stage.
During this stage, ‘deep crawls’ of the site become more frequent.
New pages appear in the Google index rapidly after they have been crawled, and usually get a ‘honeymoon’ period - Google figures it will give your new pages the benefit of the doubt, and lists your new page in the main index until it has done a thorough crawl of other sites, and seen whether other pages link to it or not.
If Google can’t find other sites linking to your new page, it will often drop back to supplemental status within a few days to a week.
During adolescence, the majority of your pages will be in supplementals, and you’ll find that those pages that are indexed are pages that have been directly linked to by other sites.

Bot behaviour and the ‘Mature Site’

At some stage Googlebot starts to get really interested in your site, crawls become much more regular, and virtually all new original content is indexed.I’ve heard people say that this is due to the ‘trust factor’ - which I suspect is probably a combination of number and quality of other sites linking to yours, and number of clicks to your site from google searches, indicating relevance.That is the stage this site (yourdomain) has now reached, and I generally find any new article I write is included in the main index within a day, and stays there, irregardless of whether other sites link directly to it or not.
I call this stage ‘the mature site’, and this is where you should aim to be. Don’t listen to people who say it’s hard - this site is only 2 months old.

Escape the Supplemental Index

So you have found yourself in the Google supplemental index and you want to escape.

Fair enough - unless you are a webmaster / blogger it’s hard to understand just how frustrating it is to find your hard-work ‘binned’ to the supplemental index - but worry no more, it’s easier to get out of the supplemental index than you may think.

I’ll be giving you three key steps you can take to get your web page out of the supplemental index and stay out.

STEP 1 - Duplicate Content causes Supplementals

Pick a few key pages on your site, and run them through ‘copyscape’ (www.copyscape.com). If copyscape says you have duplicate content on your pages, this could be the reason for the supplemental status of your pages.

Edit the pages, make them more unique, put any quotes in a
tag, and try again. Move to Step 2.

STEP 2 - Backlinks, Backlinks and Backlinks

So you have a page in the supplementals, it is brimming with unique content, and you just can’t wait to get it out - it’s not hard. I have used this technique many, many times, and if done correctly you’ll find it helps bring your whole site fromthe ‘infant’ status I spoke about in my previous article to ‘adolescence’.

Find a page on your site that is in the supplementals, that has heaps of unique content, and note down the url of that page.
Find a site that has PR3 or better, and allows you to post your url.

If you don’t know what Pagerank is, I define it in my article about nofollow
Don’t know how to discover pagerank? You can do so by getting Firefox with Google Toolbar (download it from my toolbar to the right)

Post your URL on that page, using descriptive anchor text. (eg, if your page is about widgets, the link should say ‘widgets’ if possible).Try to make your link a deep link - like www.yourdomain.com/301-redirects instead of just www.yourdomain.com
Can’t find somewhere you can post a link? Some tips:-

Your host’s forum / bulletin board (make sure that they aren’t no-following links).
A friend with an established website (a link from the first page is always best)
Another of your own websites (I’ve done this before and it works)
Paid editorial.
DO NOT subscribe to link exchange schemes, ‘free’ directory listings or other such ‘offers’. At best, they don’t work, at worst, they can get you penalized.

This strategy has worked without fail for me.

Use it, and expect your target page to be out of the supplementals within a week or less.

Some people call it giving a page ‘link juice’, or ‘link love’ - whatever you call it, it works.

STEP 3 - Submit a Sitemap to Google

Why submit a sitemap? Well, you’ve gone to the effort of getting Google ‘interested’ in your site, so you want to give it the best chance possible of indexing your site properly.

A sitemap will help it do this.

Tomorrow, In part three of this series, I’ll be talking about strategies that will help to KEEP your site indexed.

This advice should help you to progress to a ‘mature site’ that is crawled and indexed regularly, without the need for further intervention to keep new pages from going supplemental.
