Hi GR,
I am using google.ae. yea I know its just a metrics. When I search with Ab express in google.ae the abexpress.ae is not in the first page. There are many other websites with the same name nut from different countries. Yea site is online for just few months now and it doesnt have enough history too.

Hello there!
Happy new Year for you too.Which country are you using to search? As your TLD is .ae you should use google.ae.
Check here ( https://www.google.ae/#q=ab+express ), you do appear in the first page.On one hand, I'm not finding any major issue. It may be that your site does not have enough history (this is how long it's been online), or that you have very few backlinks (ahrefs found 1, majestic found 2 and moz found 1) or it may be that there are really few searches and you never get a click through google search.
All these, are some of the more important things that google takes into consideration to say whether your site is "relevant" for a certain search or not.On the other hand, Moz's metrics aren't absolute. So you shouldn't be driven by PA, DA or whatever. Moz tries to say how likely is a page to rank, but they are not inside google's algorithm. There are thousands of items that google considers that cant be considered by Moz or any other SERP tool.
Hope I've helped.

Hello!.
Im really sorry, cant help you here.
I've never had to verify the address with another method than receiving the card. -
Hi,
I have another question. I have created the google business account for abexpress. But in address field I cant enter the P.O box as and takes only physical address. I havent received the card yet.Is there any other way to verify the business?
-
@Gaston thanks for the quick response
-
There's no ultimate need in setting the preferred language and country. it's desirable to set those. At least so Google knows where are you Targeting
-
@Gaston,
Yes the site has only 7 pages.
1. The site was launched 3 months ago.
2. Webmaster tool account has been set up
2. We haven't configured the preferred language and country. we offer services within UAE, GCC, Levant countries and North Africa. So should we set this option?
-
Hi,
Yeap you should have a robots.txt file, even if you dont want to block any URL.Im checking with a crawler (SpiderFrog) and you have only 7 URL accessible. Are all those the URLs you want to be indexed?
http://abexpress.ae/
http://abexpress.ae/terms-conditions
http://abexpress.ae/industries
http://abexpress.ae/about
http://abexpress.ae/services
http://abexpress.ae/contact
http://abexpress.ae/faqsJust to be sure:
- how long has this site been up?
- Have you created a Search Console account for this site? Have you upload the Sitemap to that account?
- Have you configured the preferred domain? And what about the preferred language/country?

Hi Gatson,
Should we use robots.txt file if I dont want to block any urls?
-
Hi Gaston,
THanks you so much for your response. I will look into it.

Hello,
Your site does appear when searching for the domain itself. Take a look at this screenshot:
https://gyazo.com/471d935ab33651527a53c3b9436b44bcRegarding the DA, remember that it is a metric from moz that analyzes the links pointing to your domain (mainly) and then it offers a number stating how likely that domain may rank.
You shouldn't focus in incrementing the DA itself. There are other issues and ideas where to spend your time and money.
One of the issues is that you don't have redirected the non-www to the www version (and there is no canonical tag). And other issue is that there is no robots.txt (I couldnt find it).Best luck.
Hope I've helped.
GR.

Does no-follow for pages affect site ranking?
Hey, I have a question. On my site, it's divided into the main site and the blog is in a subfolder of same domain. Within the main site (same domain), there are MANY checkout pages and other internal pages we use though all with "NO FOLLOW" on each. Despite it having "NO FOLLOW", will it affect our blog rankings in any way or domain ranking?"

Table text : Does that influences the website's ranking ?
We are currently working on a new page for one of our clients and there is A LOT of writing, so A LOT of differents pages. If I decide to put the texts on table text instead of creating a link for another page, will that influence the ranking in any way ? I've been a web writer for only a year now and still try to figure out how to optimize the written part. Thank you for your answers.

Ecommerce internal search results pages
I'm working on a ecommerce site that allows product search results pages to be sorted a variety of ways (best selling, newest, by price). Each of these search filters creates a new url i.e. /all/best/1 and /all/best/2; /all/new/1 and /all/new/2; etc. These search results pages have been indexed and the site is receiving enough organic traffic from these pages that I don't want to add noindex,follow to them. I am planning on implementing rel=prev,rel=next for each filter, but I'm concerned about duplicate content considering I can't create unique meta data for each page. Should I canonical all pages to the first search results page without filters applied? Or any other ideas on how I should proceed?

If I want to rank well on one keyword would it be better to optimize multiple pages on the website for the keyword or should I only optimize one page for that keyword?
