Backlink Indexing - will this technique hurt or help?

[momentum_technology_services]

So I came across this idea on YouTube: Indexing your backlinks. I understand its not enough to just have google crawl your pages - you want them indexed.

So, if you create backlinks on say a blog or social profile, will it benefit you to have them submitted to other popular blogs, news / pr sites, video channels - of which may be unrelated - for the sole purpose of getting them not just crawled but indexed?

There are SEO companies that I have seen that claim they do exactly that (publish your backlinks all over the web - making backlinks for backlinks) but in reality is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Could this help rankings or hurt them?

If you need to do anything to get a link indexed, them it is probably such a weak link, its not worth having.

I would not waste my time and/or money on such an approach.

Hey there,

Rather than taking care of indexing your back links, focus on creating high quality content with great potential to get links naturally.

Regarding the back links, the rule is quality over quantity. Especially now, when Google sees primarily the amount of domains and doesn't care about how many other back links are pointing from each of them.

Hope it helps. Cheers, Martin

I specifically said "a blog or social profile." You're telling me that these are not worth having? If I have a blog or social profile and people visit such pages I think they would expect a link.
