Most of my links are from indexing services. Why?

Hi, most of the links my GSA SER has built are from indexing services (I do have SER linked with GSA SEO Indexer).  This can't be healthy, right?  How do I have a more evenly distributed profile where the other backlink types get more links percentage-wise?

    These are easy to find links. You should not mix them anyway with contextual links. Use them on the last tier only.

    The distribution of link sources is based on what you have in your site list.

    If you want more of the other types such as articles, forums, social network and wiki links, (best for T1 and T2) you have to scrape for them, then test them so that they get added to your site list and used on future projects.

    Is this a sitelist you purchased?

    Hi, these are all Tier 2 links (backlinks to "natural" backlinks to my money site).  And no, this is not a sitelist but au naturel ones (i.e., that GSA SER scrapes). 

    A question:  Should I uncheck the indexer option in GSA SER?  Of course, I am still use GSA Indexer to index the backlinks built here (but those are Tier 3's right?  GSA Indexer backlinks to GSA SER backlinks to "natural" backlinks to my money site).

    So you're saying I should unclick the "indexer" option on GSA SER's "Where to Submit" menu, correct?

    Most people turn off the search function in SER and scrape their own site lists (or buy one). Especially for contextual link sources.

    Thank you for your comment.  A couple of questions:

    1)  What some good vendors for these site lists?  Recommendations and links would be totally appreciated!

    2)  Would using site lists from vendors cause any issues since everyone will be using the same site lists and therefore the same URL's for backlinks?  (Sorry if I sound ridiculous.  I'm totally new to this.)

    I have not purchased a site list in a long time. Probably 10+ years. I don't know whos good or which one is worth it, or if any are. There is a buy sell trade forum here. Take a look at the vendors that sell there. See who's active and who doesn’t have pissed off customers. I can’t and won’t recommend a service to you, sorry.

    You'll get much better results by scraping/building your own site list. I wouldn't recommend buying a site list - not if you want to get results and move your rankings up. Sure it's the quick and easy way, but it won't produce results.

    If you are serious about getting results then you really should look into setting up a dedicated scraping system for all the major search engines. This is how you tap into the real ranking power of the software. You'll never achieve that through paid site lists.

    - Using lists shared by hundreds of other users has much less value as they are flooded with posts and external links. They are literally leaking link juice.

    - Sites with hundreds of thousands of low quality posts on them make getting new posts indexed that much harder. The site has already been flagged as low quality by Google. Your single high quality post won't change this.

    - Plus the site numbers per engine from list providers is embarassingly low. I'd be embarased to sell those site lists.

    Those new sernuke engines are the best link sources to use for any tier. I'm using 3 tiers of them and get very good natural indexing on them - no indexing service - just tiers.
