Why Pinging Your Backlinks May Not be Necessary
- SEO |
Okay I have been reading a lot in this forum about pinging and RSS to your backlinks recently and its true if you do those things you stand a good chance of getting backlinks indexed.
However
I am finding that alot of the times I don't need to do those things. In fact just this week I am finding my links are showing up in google as indexed within 48 hours or less!
So I got to wondering why.
Turns out there MAY be two kinds of backlinks and it shouldn't be a surprise for those who do other SEO. Turns out some site structures are easier to crawl than others and that might have alot to do with how you (or whoever gets backlinks for you) finds those backlinks.
There are two basic ways to find sites to place your backlinks on.
A) study your comptetitors sites and check their backlinks
B) Use search engines themselves to find your backlinks.
The advantage of A is that you find backlinks a little more quickly (although sorting out the backlinks can be tediously slow - just because your competitor has a backlink to his site doesn't mean you can get one from the same site).
The disadvantage is that the links may actually not be that crawlable (if in fact my theory holds water). Also you tend to come up with a lot of sites that are being used by alot of people degrading their PR juice.
The advantage of B is you can find some fairly unique and powerful sites that everyone isn't using (provided you are not just doing the same kind of searches everyone else is doing) and MAYBE because the links are actually in the index already they tend to be more crawlable or for other reasons are crawled more often that other sites.
The disadvantages are that doing unique searches to find quality backlinks can be very time consuming.
SO bottom line is although Pinging and Rss to get your backlinks indexed is all the rage now in some situations it isn't necessary depending on how the backlinks were found.
Some need extra help in being discovered by Google and some don't.
Question is How do links that are not very crawlable impact future upgrades to Pagerank and how the new PR flows to your site much less any changes you might do to those backlinks?
