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

Does an external link to an image file on my site help my SEO?
I found a few websites that are displaying images from my site. Curiously, they have also linked these images to the source image file on my website. I found these because Moz showed these sites in my list of backlinks. I assume that means it impacts my Domain Authority. But does this actually help me in search engines since it's not linking to a page on my site?

Internal Linking - Post links vs Side Bar Links behaving differently
Hi, I have a question regarding the internal linking behavior. My website is www.hindimeaning.com which is approx 3 years old. I have approx 450 posts. Now i have a widget on right sidebar "Popular posts". A widget below my posts "Related Posts". And a simple html CSS menu above the posts (I removed menu around 6 month before so currently it will not show.) I crawled my site with moz crawler (same are the result from google crawler as well) and it shows menus links as internal links. While sidebar widget "Popular posts" and "Related Posts" are not showing as internal links. If we talk theoretically what i learn till now is "every link on a page behaves as internal link". Then why the widget links are not showing as internal links. Thanks, Mahesh Kumar

Hidden Backlinks
Hi, I hope someone can help me with this. We have a competitor who appears to be ranking No1 for a competitive search term with a very lame site and above some authoritative sites. He has been here for some time as well. When we check out his back link profile through OSE, Majestic and Ahrefs they show as only 3 backlinks from no PR sites. However, someone pointed out that they could be using a link network that is blocking every crawler apart from Google, Yahoo and BIng. I would like to know if there is a way to confirm this. For instance I know that we can use screaming frog to mimic Googlebot, however, if there a way to reveal the real backlinks to a site like this using any tools. Thanks

A link with "return false"- OSE sees as a No Followed Link
Hello, I couldn't find a clear answer to the impact on SEO for a link written in this way: [" class="expert_info" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">](w</span>ww.yourwebsite.com<span style=) [Does the "return false" act as a "no follow"? I came across this in our link data in Open Site Explorer which lists these links all as "no follows." However, an engineer I spoke to said that it shouldn't impact search engine behavior. Any ideas? Thank you in advance! -Sarah K.](w</span>ww.yourwebsite.com<span style=)
