Google’s latest update is impacting directories all over the world. Described by Google as not a mere algorithm, but a ‘major infrastructure update’, Big Daddy (satirically referred to on some bulletin boards as ‘Big Brother) seems to be an oddly appropriate name for a Google update which sent the SEO and web development world into total uproar over the ranking and indexing of their directories post Big Daddy; that is if one considers the explosion of webmaster bulletin board activity on that topic since the updates implementation.

So intense and rapid was the discourse come mid-March that Google engineer and self-appointed webmaster liaison, Matt Cutt, advised Google to set up a team to address the ‘supplemental’ problem faced, for no clear reason

So intense and rapid was the discourse come mid-March that Google engineer and self-appointed webmaster liaison, Matt Cutt, advised Google to set up a team to address the ‘supplemental’ problem faced, for no clear reason. For this to make much sense for us less specialized folk, some rudimentary knowledge the Google search machine is required.

At its most basic, Google serves an indexing and categorizing function so that when people search for something, certain algorithms have already determined (are always determining) where they will take the viewer to look. This indexing is performed by the Googlebot 2.1 and the Mozilla Bot, both of which ‘crawl’ directories while applying content-analyzing algorithms to web content and code.

These algorithms determine, among other things, which directories go into the main index (which is where you want to be) and which into the supplemental index, referred to in webmaster jargon as ‘Supplemental Hell’ since not only does it exclude its contents from searches, but is notoriously difficult to escape once thrown in.

The functionality of a special corner for inactive websites, spam sites, and other nuisances extant on the web is clear

The functionality of a special corner for inactive websites, spam sites, and other nuisances extant on the web is clear. The current problem and essential source of confusion, however, is that active, original, and non-spam directories, post Big Daddy, are being cast into the supplemental flames for no apparent reason.

As one of the many people to comment in response to Matt Cutt’s ‘Gone Supplemental’ blog post of March 22, 2006, “Our site has been redesigned…If I do a search…most url’s are from our old site marked as supplemental results. Google is hardly indexing our new site…” And the problem was not limited to just one directory here or there, but thousands around the world, as the following comment, one of many, indicates.

“I have a site with 4 sub domains including http://turkiyespot.com </a>/Hepsinin aktif içeriği var… Hepsi destek ve hiç bir dönüş görmüyorum ne de Google onları büyük ölçüde sürünüyor.Bir nedenden dolayı destek endeksinde 300 bin sayfa hakkında konuşuyoruz. ” Henüz bunu yapmak için gelmediyse, dizinlerinizin nerede oturup Big Daddy yayınladığını görmek iyi bir fikir olabilir.Dizin olup olmadığınızı görmek için URL'yi Google araması olarak yapıştırmanız yeterlidir.Sayfa eksik olarak ortaya çıkarsa, ana dizin zarafeti düştü.Dizinlerinizde durum buysa, Big Daddy Post ile yapmak isteyeceğiniz ilk şey, botların sayfayı reddetmesine neden olabilecek herhangi bir kod veya içerik aramaktır.

Spam'den (veya spam olarak botların kodunu), gizli metinten ve kopyalanmış veya "kazınmış" içerikten (aynı anahtar kelimelerle yakından açıklanmış) herhangi bir sayıda şey bir dizini tamamlayıcı cehenneme itebilir.Dizinlerinizin kullanımına ve karmaşıklığına bağlı olarak, bir SEO uzmanı veya kuruluşunun hizmetleri, dizinlerinize bakılmak için kullanışlı olabilir.Bazı web yöneticileri normale döndüğünde, diğerleri hala Big Daddy sonrası dizinleri konusunda zorluklarla karşı karşıya.Big Daddy, Google, Web Tasarım Dünyası ve kullanıcıları arasında daha fazla ve daha iyi iletişim ihtiyacına dikkat çekerken, tüm karışıklıklar çözülmesi ve bunun gibi sorunlar için akışkan iletişim kanallarının yerinde olması biraz zaman alabilir.Şimdilik yapabileceği en iyi şey, Big Daddy sonrası dizinlerinin endekslenmesine çok dikkat etmek.
