I use to worry about this but I found I was better off spending my time on better things to improve my sites. Supplemental results to me aren't bad. I think google realizes some scripts duplicate content by accident. I don’t even worry about supplemental results any more at least my site is on the search engines.

At least I entirely disable date archive, no-index for tags. When the site grow a bit bigger I will remove the no-index for tags because then they would have more unique content combination. WordPress have to learn a lot in SEO and implement it in the core. Currently, all CMS seem to not do a good job at this, even Drupal. Even it's Blogspot by Google, also have lacked SEO practices. Generally speaking, if a person have no tech-mind then they loose the game regardless of whatever they use, unless they by SEO services. After all, only best SEO practices win the competition... but who are the winners? I don't think it isn't the original author of the content.

Your categories and date based archive of course are going to appear highly in search results, because you are giving them sitewide links. Welcome to the nightmare Automattic have just imposed on the Wordpress community by default - Wordpess widgets which don't provide a way to control which pages the links appear on. Some themes do contain modified code for the display of this information, but most do not. Try compensating the linking by adding something like related posts and tagging. Maybe use the Add link attribute to place nofollow on those navigational links on internal pages. There are multiple ways to optimise a Wordpress blog for SEO, unfortunately a default Wordpress installation using widgets and most themes isn't included on the list. You certainly can get away with it, but you can do much better. As I said, reports for supplemental results are currently incorrect.

So the point is that things seem to be strangely inverted. I agree that it would be natural to have the posts in the main index and the archives, both date- and category-based in the supplemental index.

A lot of people freaked out and took this too far when it first came out without reading the fine print. They spend a LOT of time on this issue, like you, for something they really didn't have to worry about. It's easy, if you are fully hosted, to remove all those date archives from the header and rely upon categories and site maps, which some did, but it won't hurt you. Normal blog content isn't penalized. The issue of duplication comes from splogs using duplicate information on one or more of their web pages and duplicate, <em>already published</em> content from others. Those who use more blockquotes than original content might be penalized if the issue of duplication is really taken seriously by Google.

Until reading this post I'd never really put much work or research into SEO for my site -- I don't have a "tech blog" or run ads or sell anything. But I had noticed the pattern in my logs of search hits not going straight to the page most appropriate. Custom pages (with meta description & keywords in the header) fared much better for me.
