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

Disavowing Links
I need some advice... I've noticed our link profile has increased with many comments links --- something I certainly have not pursued manually. I'm new to disavowing links. However, before I go ahead and disavow them, I'd like to ask how harmful these links are and would you recommend this is something I can do myself (relatively novice SEO) or if you'd recommend someone who could do this for a reasonable cost. In one instance, the link from this comment thread is with the anchor text, "porn"... Certainly not something we want to rank for, haha! I look forward to your advice

Back link from site with DA of 72 to a website domain. Clicking on the link redirects to our website not the attended one.
Hi,
Link Building | | JIMBO16
I've ran a back link check and discovered a good back link to a site which then gets redirected back to my company's website. I have a feeling that an old SEO agency has purchased a small website which has a decent link back from a relevant organisation with a high Domain authority and then redirects the domain to our website to get the link juice. What are your thought on this? Is this really bad practise and possibly damaging? Thanks, Jim0 -

Footer Links And Link Juice
I'm starting to learn about link juice and notice in GWMT > Traffic > Internal Links, that the list is in this order by the links counted on each page. Some are in the footer and some are in the header, with some being more important than others commercially i.e. /register /privacy /terms /search /sitemap /disclaimer /blog /register So I am wondering if I should add a 'no-follow' attribute to the footer links i.e. privacy, terms, disclaimer and leave the others as they are? Does this help retain link juice on each page where the links appear? Or am I missing the point all together? This is my website: http://goo.gl/CN0e5

How long does it take to get links indexed?
How long does it take Google Webmaster tools on average to detect links to my website? What about OSE? My site is fairly new (launched in January) and I've done some guest blogging -- I would think that some links from 3-4 weeks ago would be showing up by now. Am I just being impatient?

Links on the same keyword
When is linking from one particular keyword to much. At what point could link building from one keyword be considered spam and potentially delist a site ? Is it possible for a site to be delisted for having to many links from the same keyword ? Heard linking from the website name is more important following recent changes. I try and link from a selection of 3 to 4 keywords. Thanks for your help
