What's the fixation with Getting Links indexed?

[theseoguys]

These last few weeks, there seems to be quite a fixation about "how fast can I get my back links indexed" or "how do if I know if my back links are being indexed"?
As I was taught by Brad Gosse, one of the best, if you build, create, develop good content, it will happen. Whether it be naturally, or through your own efforts, it will happen. Likewise, good SEO takes time and patience. If I told you it would take 6 months to get to the top of Google for your product or niche, would that scare you? Would you try something else? Would you look for something less competitive? If so, then it leads me to believe that most are in for the easy money. Anything easy tends not to last anyways.
So, for those looking for the quick charge to the top, or think it is a race against time, maybe delivering pizza's short term, might help the pay the bills instead of trying to speed up the process that most of us have no control over anyways.

End rant.

If you're building links then it seems obvious to want to make sure they get indexed. If a link doesn't get indexed, you might as well not have built it.

Also: Good backlinking and good content aren't mutually exclusive.

Hi,
What do you do to get your backlinks indexed?

So far, I've been using bookmarks and second-layer links from other sources (i.e. links to the pages containing my backlinks) to increase indexation.

Currently testing a higher-volume automation of this process with a neat little tool called Backlink Energizer.

If you want to rapid index a slew of backlinks that you created then you can toss then all into one Rss feed then submit the feed to the Rss directories and ping the Rss feed using something like ping-o-matic.


I wouldn't try to get all your backlinks indexed in the same day however because it doesn't look natural to Google if they find all 100 backlinks all at once....if you did your homework right you should of commented or created a backlink on a high pr site so it will get picked up rather quickly any how and look so much more natural to Google when picked up.

there are few methods to do that.. As I do create a rss feed of all links and then submit that to feedage.. Then Ping that rss feed url , so it get indexed as my backlinks too...

"As I was taught by Brad Gosse, one of the best, if you build, create, develop good content, it will happen. "

Okay, lets compare that to Rand Fishkin over at SEOmoz, a world recognised leader in SEO:

"On nearly every commercially lucrative search results I pull up these days, I see bad links pushing bad sites into the top rankings at Google."

And Michael Gray, "Gray Wolf" another highly respected SEO:

"I don’t know how many times Google have said: “Produce great content and if users find it useful, they’ll recommend and link to you.” But Google, how do I get these people to even come through your engine? “Produce great content and they’ll (somehow) come. They’ll find your content and recommend you!”

2nd lesson: Google mantra “Build great content and users will find you” isn’t valid anymore. The fact they still spread this propaganda makes me sick. I’ve realized that building great content is just one piece of the puzzle (so I’m not saying building great content is bad, I’m just saying it’s one piece of the puzzle, not everything.)"



And I have not found great content to be a magnet either. So I disagree with Brad if he is advocating the cuckoo land approach of build it and they will come.

You say he also said "Whether it be naturally, or through your own efforts, it will happen."

Well, getting your links created and indexed is making it happen in anyone's universe isn't it?

Build it and they will come is a load of toddle and only works for very rare sites, e.g. Youtube, Facebook, but then the buzz dies down. For the majority of us looking to rank how I would 'class' ordinary sites, people are unlikely to link to you. Also if I was to link to someone, I wouldnt link with their preferred anchor text, I would link with a helpful description or just 'click here' instead, leaving relevance and link juice quite minimal.

Building links isnt against TOS, it is selling and buying links. If Google wanted to enforce building links, I think at least 50% of each 1st page SERP result Google throws up would suffer.

SPAM is also not a bad thing all the time, consider someone wanting to rank for 'dual screen dvd players' they are bound to use a lot of anchor text of that term, however chances are they will be doing this to link out to say Amazon or Walmart or throw up Google adsense, however to succeed, they need good content and thus it does need to be relevant.

I dont think SPAM in relation to Google SERPS is a bit thing at all really, a lot of the time, people do get what they want. It depends on what the definition of SPAM is.

Anyway, links need to be indexed to PROVE to pass link juice, so this is why people consider this important and will do so for now!!

You're right, linking takes a long time if done correctly. There aren't really many tools that actually build links that will last, and do it quick. You guys shouldn't be looking for the fast way to things, you should be looking for the long lasting way to things. If you want to make money online quickly, then find affiliate products and throw up some adwords spots. If you want to create an online empire, then you will have to work hard and long at it. Here's a tip, use EzArticleLink for you links. It takes a long time but they're long lasting, natural links that will help you in the LONG RUN.

Yes I love those "natural" links in an author bio box in all those article SPAM directories. They're ohhh so "natural".

Whats next? FREE Range backlinks? Whole Grain? Eco Friendly?

So you are advocating getting a large percentage of your links all from the same domain? SEO 101 anyone

I think just about everyone who builds links probably jumps the gun a bit when it comes to keeping an eye on SE's crawling their new juicy back links. With SEO, you have to be patient from time to time and the big SE's usually do a good job of finding the links. Lately though, there seems to be a lot more links disappearing as a result of being stagnant for quite some time and probably being pushed down into the archives.

Perhaps soon "Shares" and "Likes" will be the new juicy link, Oh, and Citations too!
