Google Supplementary Index

Hi guys

I have been working to optimise a website recently and part of my work included changing some of the existing page Title and meta data to optimise a different page for a keyword that an existing page was already ranking for. Both pages are still indexed as they appear when I search for 'site:http://..etc" in Google but they have dropped out of the search results for the keyword I'm targeting.

Is there anything I can be doing other than link building to the new page to get it out of the supplementary index and ranking again? Theoretically it should be ranking at least on page two of results.

Thanks

    There was Google update yesterday, as many people have already indicated on this forum, this might be the reason. But the rule of thumb here is to keep going with building quality backlinks, and the page you desire to see in SERPs will eventually show up.

    I think I would change the content back to what it was and see if that comes back, then do a fresh page for the new subject.

    For de-indexing your pages:

    - Login to your webmaster account
    - Go to Site Configuration->Crawler Access->Remove URL

    and add your URLs to de-index and wait until it gets removed from google's database.

    This method of de-indexing is fast enough. Usually withing 24 hours (I get it done in 4 hours often).

    Then Resubmit your sitemap and wait until your page gets indexed.
    Another way is to ping the page you have updated.
    See which method suit you. I prefer the second.
