By Benj Arriola - Posted on Fri Jun 22, 2007

This is already old news for the seasoned SEO professional but still new to many budding SEO noobs out there. The main reason I posted this was because of a thread I found on SEO Philippines’ Forum, where someone was asking why the title on the Google search results were still showing the old titles.

Getting out of Google’s Supplemental Index

By Benj Arriola - Posted on Sun Jun 10, 2007

The drive for me to write this blog post was mainly from a PM from a member of SEO Philippines. His message below and i translated parts of his message in Tagalog to English.

Thanks
