A lot of people have been confuse with getting something called supplemental next to their search results on Google. Not many have been able to understand the concept. I did not understand it until my own site’s search result behaved in this manner. I would explain this with my experience.

Somewhere in the month of July of 2005, I put up a page on the web and notice that I was crawled by Google in about 4 days. It stayed there for quite sometime until I did not have much time to work on the site. So I deleted all the pages. I then worked on the site again and put up a whole new design which was again crawled pretty well. After a couple of months, I removed all the files from the server again. The results did show up for a few days but after that I started seeing the cached pages of my old pages. Now this means that Google crawls your site from time to time and keeps all the copies so that if your pages are missing at any time, it atleast has some pages to show till a particular time. Now I would say that this would be a good feature.
