Backlink booster - boosts and helps to index links?
-
Hello all,
We are using a tool called backlink booster that works in the following way:
-
you view a page with a backlink to your site
-
click on a boost link saved in favourites
-
the link is pinged to rss directories and web 2.0 sites
The idea is to get your links indexed faster.
Has anyone used this or something like this and had any benefit from it?
Thanks
Shehzad.

Not using indexer tools, but what Google expects is a backlink that is truly natural. In my opinion, building my own backlinks by linking sites to other sites through comments, profiles, etc. is not optimal.
Unless, you are using a strategy to build PBN (Private Blog Networks) backlinks. If you do it right like Renovasi Otak, in Google's eyes it will look good and very high quality. Because PBN uses natural blog development strategies and has almost no loopholes. Like the difference in IP address, devices, and so on.
Remember, that is just my opinion.

100% agree thank you both for your excellent answers

There are so many site, tools and 'solutions' like this on the web nowadays - and too many people seem to be buying into them.
The only true way to gain good quality links is though EARNING THEM. Instead of spending time indexing poor quality links via RSS feeds and such like, spend your time creating something link worthy - something people will want to link to, such as the Social Media Guide. It ticks all of the boxes, it's from an authorative source, includes badges (for link backs), and it's easy to syndicate.
Whatever your niche is, someone somewhere is looking for a review, a buying guide, or a 101 ways to... list. I know I'd personally spend my time following these methods.
@Shehzad - This isn't meant to be aimed at you in particular! This is just my strong recommendation to all employing these tactics to swap to more natural SEO

Shehzad,
First off, no I have not used software like this. Now I am assuming that using Backlink Boster is going to be your main link building strategy, so I am basing my following suggestions off of this idea. Usually, if you are getting a link from a site and it is not getting index fast, there is a good chance it’s a low quality link. You will not get very much value out of a link that is having a hard time getting index. So my question for you is, why spend so much time getting low quality links to your site? You can spend the same amount of time and maybe get 1 or 2 quality links and it will bring much more value to your site. You will get more authority, link juice & quality traffic from the 1 to 2 high quality links. Now, with all that said I would still be very careful using Backlink Boster, I looked at their site and there techniques look a very automated and spamy (maybe spamy is too strong of a word). After looking through there how Backlink Boster works page, I would say there is a good chance Google and most of the other major search engines have already flagged majority of the sites they are using in their network as low quality. If I was you, I would spend my time getting the high quality links from the authority sites in your industry.
I hope this helps,
Cyle

Backlinks and SPAM
I was doing some back link review of competitors and I have noticed that many of our competition have 300+ do follow back links from Justia.com and an additional 300+ do follow links from law.cornell.edu (they share the same database). The links on Justia are from different pages and they are all going to the root of our competitors site. So the questions are as follows; 1: For the purpose of SEO is this considered SPAM 2: If not SPAM, then does it have a positive effect on the competitions website and should I attempt to emulate for my client. Thanks in advance. -Jeff

Hidden Backlinks
Hi, I hope someone can help me with this. We have a competitor who appears to be ranking No1 for a competitive search term with a very lame site and above some authoritative sites. He has been here for some time as well. When we check out his back link profile through OSE, Majestic and Ahrefs they show as only 3 backlinks from no PR sites. However, someone pointed out that they could be using a link network that is blocking every crawler apart from Google, Yahoo and BIng. I would like to know if there is a way to confirm this. For instance I know that we can use screaming frog to mimic Googlebot, however, if there a way to reveal the real backlinks to a site like this using any tools. Thanks

Backlinks embedded in posts or backlinks in sidebar?
What's better? A backlink to my site, embedded into a blog post/article? Or a hardlink in the sidebar? The problem with links embedded inside articles, is that when the blog linking to me, gets updated, the articles disappear from first page and I lose the link from home page. How do you deal with this? I also read this: "The best link you can get is from a site ranking #1 for the keyword you want to rank for. It would be great to have the #1 site for a desired keyword linking me even if they are a PR 0 site." Is this right? Thx in advance.

A link with "return false"- OSE sees as a No Followed Link
Hello, I couldn't find a clear answer to the impact on SEO for a link written in this way: [" class="expert_info" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">](w</span>ww.yourwebsite.com<span style=) [Does the "return false" act as a "no follow"? I came across this in our link data in Open Site Explorer which lists these links all as "no follows." However, an engineer I spoke to said that it shouldn't impact search engine behavior. Any ideas? Thank you in advance! -Sarah K.](w</span>ww.yourwebsite.com<span style=)
