How to index backlinks fast

1. Make sure the page can be indexed

Open the page with your backlink and check four things:

• It returns status 200 and loads without a login.
• There is no noindex in the meta robots tag or the X-Robots-Tag header.
• robots.txt does not block the URL.
• The canonical tag points to the page itself, not to another URL.

If any of these fail, no indexer can help. Ask the site owner to fix it or move on.

2. Check whether it is already indexed

Search site:example.com/your-page in Google, or use our free Google index checker for a list. Do not pay to index pages that are already in.

3. Give Google paths to the page

Google finds pages by following links. A page with zero links pointing to it is hard to find. Good ways to add paths:

• Share the URL on social profiles that get crawled often.
• Link to it from your other content, such as a tier-2 link.
• Submit it to a backlink indexer, which publishes the URL on crawl pages, feeds and sitemaps and pings search engines.

4. Drip feed big batches

Hundreds of new links in one day look unnatural. Spread big lists over days or weeks. IndexIn has a drip feed of up to 30 days built in.

5. Verify and resubmit

Check again after 2 to 4 days. Links that are still not indexed usually sit on weak pages. Improve what you can, then resubmit. Pages that drop out of the index later can also be resubmitted.
