Is www.indexkings.com safe to use?
-
Does anyone know if www.indexkings.com is a safe site to use to index a url in the eyes of Google?
-
IndexKings is a "safe" site to use. What it does is ping your URL to sites like Alexa, WSRising.com amongst others, which then pings Google.
It does generate a number of no-value backlinks and there's no documented harm (as far as i'm aware) by using these services sporadically.
What you should be aware of is users that submit 2nd or 3rd tier backlinks in an attempt to get them indexed via these services. If you've got a legitimate website that you want indexed, the best way to do that would be via www.google.com/addurl.html
Save yourself the hassle and risk

When you are on this website, one of the links clicks to http://www.monsterbacklinks.com/ where you have this company advertising 1200 backlinks for $157. This is definitely stuff i would stay miles away from. (I can see Rand shaking his head in disappointment at this company and getting really really mad :):)
Here is the simple answer. Why would you want to put your site or your client's site in jeopardy by engaging this company for link building. If you do get penalized , it will take a lot of hard work and effort to get your rankings back. The bottomline is "nothing comes easy". Top rankings for competitive keywords require a lot of hard work and effort for long lasting results.

Google.com showing as backlink provider in Webmaster Tools?
Hi Everyone 🙂 Looking in the 'Links to your site' section of webmaster tools today and my top backlinking domain is google.com which is apparently giving me 113 links. The second top referring site is googleapis.com which apparently isn't even a site when I type it into my browser? Does anyone else get Google.com as a site linking to them? and why would Google be linking to us, where would these links be coming from? Any info appreciated 🙂 Regards

Links from local.com after Penguin
I have been doing some research on where some competing links are getting their links from and I see that a decent number seem to be getting some juice from local.com. My question is- have the panda & penguin updates rendered these useless- or even worse can links from directories like this now harm my SEO?

Where to link to? .com or extension
Hi everyone. Just a quick question as its really confusing me. When link building it appears I have been linking unknowingly it seems to 2 different web address's http://www.chamonixfirst.com and http://www.chamonixfirst.com/en/home/ I'm very new to this but if you look at the link info for these two different address they have different scores. Have i just halved all the link building i have done so far? When you search for us on the net its the .com site that appears but the .com/en/home/ has better trust etc. So i guess the question is, for future linking which address should we be linking to ? .com or .com/en/home/ Many thanks Phil

Is traffic useful without links?
We have many articles on our sites that bring in a large volume of traffic but bring no links. As an example we wrote an article about the hottest cities in the world. The article brings in over 1000 hits a month on Google and people spend an average of 4 minutes on the page and never return and never link to it. The article also doesn't bring in business because the company sell Air Conditioning. From an SEO point of view should we focus any time at all on writing articles that are useful for the internet community that bring in traffic but don't bring in many (any) links?
