Links to Web 2.0 sites not being recognized?

[hits79]

Hey guys,

I have a question. I created blog articles to web 2.0 sites. Each post points to either the homepage, or one of my blog post. These post have been created over time, sometimes last year I believe. I can't remember the dates on them off my head.

I went to ahref to check my backlinks to my main site, and I notice that none of the web2.0 sites I manually create shows up as backlinks. Did I do something wrong? Is this the right way to build authority backlinks?

I just don't understand why they have showed up yet. I didn't run them through indexer or anything like that, as I wanted them to show up naturally.

a link that's in ahrefs index doesn't make it an authority link no matter what its DR or UR,
also, you want google to crawl these web 2.0s, not ahrefs, since you want to rank in google,
it's pretty hard for most of the web 2.0s to be indexed on their own as they're stand-alone,
so by not being linked to from elsewhere or being included in sitemaps, they couldn't be indexed no matter how much you wait

How do people get this links indexed then?

Also it's wise to add these sites to your sitemaps? Some the user names are so random haha. But the articles are unique in each site.

I am not sure what I need to do get them indexed.

if there are just a few of them, social shares & blog comments can help them out,
for bulk number, go with some indexing service

My personal rule of thumb, if you are struggling to get them indexed, they ain't worth.
Main way to index these naturally without sending it to indexors/crawlers is to use Social Medias & t2/3 sites/ gsa blasts

No, that's a footprint

thank you both for the help. I will try social media and then just let them be.

or just try spamdexing and it will help your web2.0s get found by google and seo tools.

for rankings; remember it is quality > quantity

yeah thus, I only created a few sites. I wanted to keep the quality pretty high on these sites.

Just use an indexer like speedlinks and they will index.
