HMR - Google Ranking Recovery?
Since moving HMR to an ASC blog in March 2007, we’ve lost almost all Google rankings.
Pages are indexed fine, but new urls are in Supplementary index, and non-existant (.html) urls were still indexed (and ranked - some rising!)
This nonsense appears to be due to the apparent internal content duplication between the old (.html) and new pages (blog posts, with virtual folder urls - eg homemusicrecording.com/music/).
Based on comments on Supplemental Index from Matt Cutts (Google), the plan is:
- edit the “slug” in each post to create a new url for each post in Supplemental
- encourage inbound links to category and individual post urls through Article syndication and Social Networks

Completed url/title editing
Doesn’t seem to have helped.
Currently all but 2 listings are in “supplemental”

Created 2 internal links today from the 2 main-indexed posts as follows:
From: http://www.homemusicrecording.com/digital/signal-processing/digitech-vx400/
To: http://www.homemusicrecording.com/home-recording-articles/
and
From: http://www.homemusicrecording.com/digital/recording_studio_setup/raxxess-elite-roll-top-rack-mixing-desk-cherry/
To: http://www.homemusicrecording.com/home/recordingmixers/
The object is to see if these are moved to the main index any faster than others un-linked.
