I'm glad to hear they worked for you. However, my own results and research in this area lead me to emphasize a couple of further points: • eliminating urls on your site with the same content is part of the solution, but it is not a general solution for everyone ⁃ For example, on my site (homemusicrecording.com), I implemented the "the_excerpt" code as recommended by Lorelle on May 5th 2007. Up until last week, all but 4 of my urls remained in Google's Supplemental index. • Some WordPress Themes already incorporate this functionality when the "more" option is used in a post; this is true or partially true in 9 of the 11 Widgetized themes provided with WordPress Master. So I suggest anyone aiming to combat Google Supplementitis with this tactic asks the following questions before embarking on what may be a fruitless task: 1. Does my Theme already support display of summaries for all post listings, except the permalink? ⁃ If it does, use "more" or an Explicit Optional Excerpt with every post 2. If not, is it worth the effort to customize the code? ⁃ Yes! - for anyone, like Jack, with many existing posts on their site ⁃ No! - for everyone else; just use "more" or an Explicit Optional Excerpt with every post I'm unable, without a valid test procedure covering a sufficient number of sites, to draw conclusions which can be reliably applied to other blog websites in general. The IM world is subject to far too many variables... However, we can certainly learn from each other, and where sufficient information is provided, adopt the emerging "best practices" with reasonable confidence. Cheers, Ken Hi Jack,

Many thanks for sharing your results! I’m glad to hear they worked for you.

However, my own results and research in this area lead me to emphasize a couple of further points:

• eliminating urls on your site with the same content is part of the solution, but it is not a general solution for everyone
⁃ For example, on my site (homemusicrecording.com), I implemented the “the_excerpt” code as recommended by Lorelle on May 5th 2007. Up until last week, all but 4 of my urls remained in Google’s Supplemental index.
• Some WordPress Themes already incorporate this functionality when the “more” option is used in a post; this is true or partially true in 9 of the 11 Widgetized themes provided with WordPress Master.

So I suggest anyone aiming to combat Google Supplementitis with this tactic asks the following questions before embarking on what may be a fruitless task:

1. Does my Theme already support display of summaries for all post listings, except the permalink?
⁃ If it does, use “more” or an Explicit Optional Excerpt with every post
2. If not, is it worth the effort to customize the code?
⁃ Yes! – for anyone, like Jack, with many existing posts on their site
⁃ No! – for everyone else; just use “more” or an Explicit Optional Excerpt with every post

I’m unable, without a valid test procedure covering a sufficient number of sites, to draw conclusions which can be reliably applied to other blog websites in general. The IM world is subject to far too many variables…

However, we can certainly learn from each other, and where sufficient information is provided, adopt the emerging “best practices” with reasonable confidence.

Cheers,
Ken
