I have read a lot of articles with suggestions on how to index your backlinks. Nothing works for me so far.

There was an article saying that you don't have to index your backlinks. They will give you juice anyways. It is a better option for sure to index them, but if it is difficult, just keep building links. They will help.

What do you think?

    If you can control or have permission to edit that links, you can ping all of them or fetch as Google in Webmaster tool (Google console), if you don't, you can not do anything, just wait until Google will index them for you.

    Web-links would not be considered if not indexed however you can have traffic from a page that is not indexed yet.

    There's your problem. You are reading a bunch of crapola.

    If you have to index your backlinks, then those backlinks are not worth getting.

    Nobody in their right mind would be going around, trying to get the pages with links indexed.

    Conclusion? (The same as before) There are a lot of SEO wannabes NOT in their right minds.

      Paul's right. I do nothing to index my backlinks, yet Google indexes them. I don't buy fiverr crap though.

      And, yes, they have to be indexed to give you anything: if Google doesn't know they exist how is it going to know they point to your site?

    It's common sense...

    If you can see that Google has indexed/reindexed a backlink page and your backlink is visible than obviously Google knows the backlink exist. Otherwise you're just guessing.

    Bringing a backlink to Google's attention is fine, example to speed up the process but the backlink page should be able to stand on its own from followed supporting links pointing at the backlink page/URL. Otherwise odds are it's a very weak backlink page.

    If the backlinks are not yours, then you will be indexing them for the owners. Personally I think it is better to get backlinks from already indexed sites.

    The good news, Google will index your links for you. The bad news, it might take a bit of time for the Google bot to reach your new link.

    If you don't have the time to wait, there are a couple of tactics you can use to speed up the process for this.

    • Submit the URL for your link to Google through your Google Account. Once you login you'll see a 'submit URL' box under the Webmaster tools.
    •Add links to your site to an existing social media account, the site will then be recognised as existing content.
    •Share the website on a social media profile - this will create an alert that new sites are being shared. •Use Google Analytics, this will let Google know that there is a new link available and will speed up the visit from the Google bot.

    It might take a little bit of time but once Google know that there is new content to be indexed, they'll take care of the rest.

    Good luck.

    Indexing backlinks are quite helpful as they can help your website to reach some of the popular websites which you are missing. Some of the popular link indexer sites are also there which could help you to index your backlinks and they are genuine as well as they are paid ones.

    Hey Mario.

    To gain keyword ranking in serps for all types of keywords back-links must index.
    Use some free pinging tools like pingomatic.com and many other etc.Have a look on google search for free pinging sites list.
    And also try to do social bookmarking in top 10 bookmarking sites for your backlinks which are not getting indexed.
    Also fetch as google in webmaster tools.

    Thanks

    What do you think?

    If a backlink isn't indexed (Google cache) then you have no idea If Google knows about the link.

    If you have to manually index your own backlinks then they're weak backlinks. Webpage authority (PR) isn't static so If the backlink page eventually has it's own followed backlink profile pointing directly at the backlink page URL it could one day be a decent link.

    Also consider the fact that all links aren't equal, example, nobody will ever build organic supporting links to a forum profile so spamming forums is useless.

    Backlinks are like votes or endorsements for your website. If your backlinks exists in a website which is frequently indexed by google bots then your website will get indexed very fast and it will start appearing in the search results far quickly than other methods.

    Over the placement of links, I fully agree, if the link is not indexed, it means it is a bad link and was lucky that all shit is not indexed does not spoil the reputation of your site and does not invite to visit the Penguin ...

    As for me, the best solutions for the placement of links:

    1. find the site and to negotiate directly with webmasters, I usually use ahrefs.komm, watching competitors in the TOP, studying their external references and writing letters to the webmasters, using the following rules - spam outbound links ratio of not greater than 0.3, the attendance of over 50 thousand. per month. Well, it's only for big budgets, as such links can cost from $ 100. If you place a link 2-3, the results will not be, that is, it is necessary to at least 100 per month.

    2. links to forums, comments, responses sites, web 2.0 sites. It is necessary to place only natural links manually. Big% removal, if you think only her place there. If it is organically poured into your message and it is an integral part of, then the results will be.

    3. Links with social networks, it is important to keep track of tematichnost groups and their activities.

    I do not recommend:

    1. Post links programmatically, especially use hrumer
    2. To order the reference from confused users fiverr that will do nothing except filters
    3. Post links to or not thematic resource pages
    4. Stop thinking about the number and code, think about the quantity of links

    In general, first of all, think about the quality of your website, the texts, even the elementary point is mobile version - the main ranking algorithm. In general, you know that 99% of sites, it is not the rule is drawn, as Now basically all browsing, if it is or not, and how much it corresponds to the validator Google.

    And the fact that the mobile version does not replace the regular version, and gives other possibilities of use, no one even pays attention. What basically a mobile version for people other purposes. And the traffic in the mobile version has more than the usual 3 times. At the same time those who are now thinking about the link is missing one huge moment.

    Creating a competent mobile version, which will be more to inform people, not to sell the goods, it is more successful. In the mobile version basically do not buy the goods, and read the information. And if you have a mobile version will be able to give information more convenient than others, so you have to buy and later. The same Brad Geds wrote that there are 5 sales funnels

    Sales funnel:

    1. Awareness - keys such as "TV, laptop, real estate," characterized by high frequency.

    2. Interest - this is a story about the profitability of your products or services than they will help improve the lives of customers.

    3. The study - involves the study of the characteristics, properties of your product.

    4. Comparison to similar - keys «Sony VaioZ series laptop", "Sony Plasma 52 inch", "accounting services in Chicago, a staff attorney," the better your product from your competitors.

    5. Purchase - style keys «Jim's accounting office" or "TV Samsung UN55D6000551080P LED».

    It turns out if you take the mobile version of the first 3 sales funnel, chances are that you have to buy the regular version commodity will increase many times over. How Google will see you have a better option, and then the traffic you will give more and better position.

    Yes and no.

    Here's an example. You post an article on forum with no-follow link to your site. Article will be indexed but the link wont. That doesn't mean your effort is useless, you still get traffic from the forum, real visitors. Though it might not help with ranking it sure will get you new audience.

      Actually, the link will be indexed, it will not pass juice or anchor text, though.

    From my experience, backlinks normally have to be indexed, as without it Google wouldn't be able to tell without the help of something like the NSA, lol.
