Welcome to the Q&A Forum

As someone else here says, this can do more harm than good.

Indexing links is sometimes necessary but there are other methods. This software builds links to your links. May be more than you generally need and leaves a foot print.

Keri,

OMG!! That advice is awful. I feel bad for the new people here and apologize for the bluntness.

Some of the best links are from non profits, EDUs and other large sites that dont necessarily index well.

Non profits and EDUs typically dont pay much attention to SEO but their links are authoratitive. Non profits typically dont have site maps and each department is their own fiefdom. Usually no cross linking between them and each department usually has their own surface links (primary/navigational links).

Additionally, Google is extremely good about indexing news sites as soon as they publish and checking for changes for a day or two but generally wont check again.
