I have a AWS store with 28k pages indexed and it's validating. The weight remains zero though. Any possible reason for this?
Simply keep trying to validate - change the URL in the set-up to having a forward slash at the end and not, and revalidate. A few attempts should get things sorted out.
I know, I thought I read somewhere that AWS pages were classed the same as suplemental results, maybe not!
That's your answer. I'll re-phrase it for you. "I have a store with no unique content, it;s pretty much a straight copy from Amazon so every page is already indexed at least once somewhere else. Google calls this a 'thin affiliate' and such a site is commonly known to yield 'supplemental' pages only which aren't real pages. There's basically no point in this site being in the index since it's nothing new. Why am I not in it?" See what I mean?
