Indexing Backlinks (Yay or Nay?)

Recently i am playing with the thought whether certain link campaigns *might* benefit from "force indexing" them - but until now i never used such services.

For some reason i think i think it's beneficial if backlinks get created and they are not crawled right away but instead found naturally.

I can also see that force-indexed many (and i mean: MANY) links in a few days might do more harm than good.

I found a VERY SMART statement by fellow Warrior Fernando Veloso who said something like: If you drop your links at places which are SO BAD that they don't get crawled in the first place and you need to "force index" them - well you must be doing something wrong!

Think about it! What "worth" are your links if you need an extra "indexing service" to even get Google's attention? Those links are probably not worth anything if Google doesn't even crawl those sites on itself.

    Every link made, even if its good OR bad should be indexed. There is no point bothering to build links, if you don't get them indexed right? Thats like making dinner every night, and then just scraping it straight into the bin without eating it.

    If you have some high quality links you have made, back linking those can have a massive effect on the performance and also help pass link juice through it like a "filter" from the things you did to get that back link indexed. This is really the key to increasing your success rate.

    Lets say you did 100 links manually a week, and 20% got indexed. You just wasted 80% of your time right?

    Some services you dont need to worry about manually indexing because they will naturally, but for a lot of things, there is a good chance they wont get indexed, or at least not for a very long time.
