Do pages that are in Googles supplemental index pass link juice?

[FishEyeSEO]

I was just wondering if a page has been booted into the supplemental index for being a duplicate for example (or for any other reason), does this page pass link juice or not?

I don't know if there is a way to test that. I would guess no. Or it would be a miniscule amount.

Good question and I look forward to other people chiming in.

Yeah Aaron Wall over at SEObook tackled this, and it appears the end result was if any, it would be very small.

I would agree, as since Google thinks it is "less important" then it would pass less rank.

But I believe all this could ever be is speculation without rigorous testing.

As far as my knowledge is concerned about supplemental index. Google has two types of indexes, the main index and the supplemental index. And site can be in supplemental index because of any of the following reason:

duplicate content

low/thin quality content

lack of quality links (most obvious reason)

as far as the passing of link juice is concerned so I don't think Google passes any link juice.

This is the high to improve your link portfolio with high quality (irrespective or PR) links and remove all junk code and content from your website.
