Making sure links get indexed by google?

[Socialdude]

Hi I currently submitted to 30 seo directories & I just want to make sure my links get indexed by google so the link value passes onto my site.

Any suggestions about getting my links indexed?

I was thinking of either pinging or social book marketing the links!

What's your view, thanks.

will do cheers, & ye pretty new to directories submission anyway. I don't want to just submit to 100's of directories.

Just tell Google. Go to Google Webmaster Tools and submit a sitemap. Works for me everytime. 30 SEO directories?  Sounds like you're a little new to SEO. Don't worry, Google will get around to indexing it.

I would go have a beer or an anti-anxiety pill and forget about them.

hummm interesting, I just wanted to be double safe my work gets rewarded seems as I went to the effort of submitting my site.

So basically if Google don't index the links they were no good to me in the first place? OR on the opposite side if I make sure google index them they are potentially crappy links?

Part of me wants to say, "If Google can't find the link on it's own, then you don't need the link."

The other part wants to say, "BookmarkingDemon is great for helping Google find your links."

One answer is better when writing a blog post about ethical SEO. The other, a realistic way to get 'garbage' links indexed (even if they still won't be worth much).
