    No its like.

    Imagine Google was a hot girl, and your backlink was your phone number. And Indexing means that shes took your number and added it to her phone book.

      HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

      You first have to understand that as soon as you make a site, or add a link somewhere, it is not going to just pop up right away on search engines when you look for it. Indexing it, or getting it indexed means having the search engines include it in the results. If you put a link on a site that allows search engine crawlers to check for new content, it will most likely find it on their next crawl. If you made the website, you have to allow search engine bots to crawl your page and "follow" your site to include in results. With a backlink, if you need to index them, chances are they are not good backlinks, as good backlinks get indexed naturally...and bad backlinks.....they never call you back.

      This probably explains it all in a non-technical way ^

        So would you say that submitting these back links to google directly would possibly mark them as chumpy links, and that if the content is good enough/reputable site it should just get crawled and indexed automatically? My Serp spots are climbing well and i make my own web properties (most of the time) i just didn't know if i was leaving out some basic step.

        Thank you for the clarification
