14 Indexing Techniques Analyzed: A Comprehensive Backlink Study
Summary of Backlink Indexing Case Study:
This comprehensive study tested 14 different backlink indexing methods to determine their effectiveness in getting Google to crawl and index web pages. The researchers created a challenging test environment by generating 200 pages of "junk" lorem ipsum content across 15 new domains, deliberately creating low-quality pages without styling, links, or media.
Key findings:
1. Out of 14 indexing methods tested, only 4 triggered visits from Google's bots, and only 3 actually resulted in indexed URLs.
2. The top-performing backlink indexing services were:
- Indexing Expert: 99.5% indexing rate
- Omega Indexer: 88.5% indexing rate (noted to be 75% cheaper than Indexing Expert)
- SpeedLinks VIP: 72.5% indexing rate
3. Surprisingly, most of the tested services (10 out of 14) failed to trigger any visits from Google's bots.
4. Using Google's own tools (PageSpeed, Rich Results, Mobile Friendly) triggered Googlebot visits but resulted in a 0% indexing rate for the test pages.
5. All Googlebot visits came from the mobile crawler.
The study highlights the significant disparity in effectiveness among backlink indexing services, with only a few demonstrating the ability to successfully index low-quality content. This information is valuable for SEO professionals and website owners looking to optimize their backlink indexing strategies.

Comments
This is an extremely old study in any case. I think the Indexing Expert service was kicked off BHW for not living up to standards, and Elitelinkindexer does not accept signups.
What indexing service do you recommend?
Think about it. What does an indexer do? It recommends a URL to be crawled and indexed. You can use GSA Indexer to get the URL known and crawled. But your contents lets the search engines decide if they will index or not.
Hint: Don't trust the reports generated by 'Speedy' & Co. Check yourself.
I've also looked at IndexJump recently, which also seems to be sending Googlebot to all the urls I've tried, though indexing ratio after the visit is around 50%. They give 100 free credits a day though if you only have a small number of urls you want crawling.
How are you finding IndexJump these days?
what kind of tiering do you do to achieve the stability you mentioned? general ratio/type wise...
anyone have an educated guess why the google tools would cause them to crawl the urls, but not index them, while the other 3 services (allegedly/previously) would do both? the nature of the services maybe building x number/type of links tiered to the pages?
