How to index Backlinks Fast in Google!
-
I Made few backlinks with my keyword but they are not getting index and it has been for 15 days.
Do you have any idea that will help me out to solve this problem and also to index back links quickly.
-
Share the link in Twitter, Facebook, Google plus and Pinterest to get index fast.
-
You can use 3rd party indexing services, which starts from $17 per month.

Thanks All Moz Members, I Appreciate All for your tips!!

Hi Rohit,
Just to follow up and add to what others have said: if you built links from third-party websites, pointing to your site, Google should crawl the third-party websites and see the links pointing to you within 15 days. If Google is not crawling the site more regularly than once every 15 days, the websites are probably lower in quality and not great sources of backlinks to begin with.
If you are using Moz / Ahrefs, etc. are slower in crawling and indexing than Google. Moz often updates once every 30 days, so could pick up these news links in its next crawl. Ahrefs tends to be slightly faster, but is still not instantaneous in picking up new links.

I'm not sure what you mean by backlinks are not getting indexed.
From your description, it sounds like you added new pages to the site, and they are not showing up in results or as being indexed?
"I Made few backlinks with my keyword but they are not getting index and it has been for 15 days."1. What tools are you using to see if the backlink source is indexed?
2. Where did you get the backlinks from? Were they natural or paid? If they were a paid link, I'm not sure that is the best approach.
3. Depending on the importance of the source linking to you, it can be a lot longer than 15 days for Google to crawl the linking domian. They may have their sitemap set to a monthly crawl, in which case you will not see results for a while.
4. Backlinks dont get indexed based off of your site. This is a factor you cannot control. If the source is valid, and authoritive, you can link out the the page your site is linked from, and try and speed up the process. -

Sharing the page that contains the link you want indexed on Google+ is a quick and easy way to signal Google to come crawl that page and re-index it.
-
Firs off don't don't build links for same keyword (if you're).
Second, if these links have not been crawled by Google for last 15 days, then they are not at all quality links. Though, as Erwan mentioned do check for those backlink Google Webmaster Tools, MOZ to see they these tools are able to crawl them or not. If They're also not able to crawl them then those links are of no value.
-
Did you check with several tools that no links are getting indexed ? (Google Webmaster Tools, MOZ, Ahrefs, MajesticSEO...).
If your links are not visible on any of these crawlers, they are probably not very valuable anyway.

Can Foreign Language Backlinks Be Valuable?
I've done a lot of searching on this subject, but I keep seeing conflicting answers. Are backlinks from foreign language websites valuable? For example, a travel website in English picks up a couple backlinks in Indonesian language (and other languages) from foreign sites that have a DA of 60-70 or higher. The topic is partially related, but the language is totally different. Would those links still be valuable for the English website's DA? Has this ever been answered conclusively? Thanks

Directory Listings no longer counted in Backlinks?
Interesting situation when I looked at Google Search Console this morning, I found that back-links from directories had dropped off and am wondering if anyone else is seeing this? Specifically, I am in Australia and had links from Yellowpages.com.au and Truelocal.com.au to my primary domain. Interestingly, Yellow Pages had gone a bit crazy recently in that the number of links to my site seemed to balloon exponentially from about 50 when I first listed to 700+ to 1500+ to 1800+ and then the balloon popped. Truelocal in contrast was only ever showing the 1 link. There have not been any changes from my end, and I only ever had one listing in these directories so not sure what generated all these extra links in Yellow Pages. Anyone else in Australia noticed a sudden drop off in Google Backlinks from Directories? If not it may just be a temporary blip.

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.

Trading Backlinks a good idea?
New to the "backlinking" party. Wondering if its 'good practice' to trade links with other websites within a like-industry. We've been receiving a lot of emails from other websites asking us to trade links. Is this a good link building practice anymore? Thanks!

Will Google penalize for backlinks on non-indexed pages?
Have a client who has a bunch of links from spammy sites that aren't even indexed by Google. Will Google penalize (i.e. Penguin) for backlinks from spammy sites that aren't indexed? I'm guessing "Yes, Google still crawls non-indexed sites and may penalize the sites linked to from the banned site." Anyone have any data or experience with this? Anyone have a non-indexed or banned site? Does Google still crawl it?

Frustrated with spammy backlinks from competitors
I've only been doing SEO for my company for the last month and I've made some headway but what is really frustrating me right now is a couple of competitors that have OBVIOUS spammy links ranking in the number 1,2,3 stops all over the board for the keywords i'm going for. One competitor in particular has anchor text links EVERYWHERE that make absolutely no sense...junk like... "I have never been more saddened by anything in my life than when my grandfather got cancer. I told my uncle he needed to buy some auto insurance. I really like pork." I mean, these links are the pages with the most page authority and page rank out of all of the ones they have...and I'd venture to say that almost all of their backlinks are like this...well, half of them are just random links with good anchor text on the sidebar of a bazillion spam websites (diapers, toys, fake blogs, etc.)...while i have about 3k links and most of my top competitors have about 5k links...these guys have over 33k. Worse yet, when I look at something like Alexa rank, they have pretty high overall traffic rank but it shows traffic rank in MX (mexico) instead of the US...these guys only sell in the US! I mean, they're black hat if I've ever seen such a thing and they rank superbly on all keywords. What can I do to compete with this junk?

Changing backlinks anchor text
Hi, I've read a few blog post here that suggests the strength of building links using your brand as an anchor text. This supposedly gives the site authority. Currently a chunck of the back links to my homepage are on generic terms i'm trying to rank for which doesn't seem to be working very well. I was thinking of contacting the various webmasters to change the anchor text to that of the site brand name but wondering if this will signal a manipulation of links to the search engines and potentially could be flagged as paid links? Has anybody done this before and what is the danger of doing this? Thanks Duke
