Hello, I can't find my answer searching BHW.

Doesn't a link indexing service buy backlinks to index what people ask them? Doesn't it imply that they the same thing?

If my goal is to index a parasite post/page/PDF, should I buy more backlinks pointing to it or going through a link indexing services?

Please no ChatGPT replies thanks

Indexing services use a variety of methods to get links indexed. Sure some of them involve backlinks (usually on Google News-enabled or highly spidered sites), but those backlinks are usually only active temporarily.

Buying backlinks involves paying for links from other websites to your website, while a link indexing service helps search engines find and index your website's backlinks. Buying backlinks is considered a black hat SEO tactic, while using a link indexing service is a legitimate way to help search engines discover your website's backlinks.

Thanks for the ChatGPT reply, can you elaborate more and explain why aren't they the same thing with the same aim since they are both using backlinks to index and rank a website?

Using a link indexing service to first index the links on Google and then buying backlinks from different service to rank them could be a good strategy?
