And just curious how deindexing work

That Google News indexing trick no longer works today backlinks index only if the linking page has real quality, crawl paths, and internal links, not shortcuts.

 

[Crazy Monkey]

Earlier, many people used Google News approved sites to index backlinks faster, but now this method doesn’t work like before. Google has become stricter. Instead, focus on quality content, internal linking, sitemap updates, and natural traffic signals. Slow indexing is normal nowadays, so patience and clean methods matter more.

yes, Google News links can help with fast discovery and indirect trust, but they don’t pass lasting ranking power and won’t reliably boost DA by themselves.

 

[SEO JOKER]

Older methods, such as using Google News approved sites to get backlinks indexed, are no longer reliable. These days, approaches like IndexNow, the Google Indexing API through Rank Math, or tools such as Indexification and OneRank tend to work better.

Google News doesn’t really help get backlinks indexed now, so it’s better to try other ways to make them show up.

The old trick of using google news approval to quickly index backlinks doesn’t really work anymore google now separates the "publisher center" from the actual news algorithm so approval no longer guarantees your content will be crawled or ranked.

Google News backlinks can help, but it’s not reliable anymore. Use Search Console, social shares, and indexing tools for faster results.

No, Google News backlink indexing no longer works reliably; only high-quality, already-indexed sites and GSC submission help now.

 

[samideveloper]

That method rarely works now
indexing depends on link quality and crawl activity.

That Google News method mostly doesn’t work anymore. Google closed that loophole. If links aren’t indexing now, it’s usually because of quality or relevance, not missing a trick. Decent content, internal links, and real crawl signals still help more than any “indexing hack.”

 

[CyberGhost77]

The Google News trick is mostly dead because Google now differentiates between news content and blatant link spam. If you want to index backlinks in 2025, you need to send some social signals or real traffic to those pages first

 

[Mertz92941]

The Google News method is definitely getting harder in 2025 as Google has tightened its 'helpful content' filters for news-approved sites. While it still works for some, many are shifting towards using the Google Indexing API combined with high-traffic Web 2.0s or 'Tier 2' social signals to force a crawl.

Google News doesn’t seem to help much with backlink indexing now and many methods that worked before are less effective due to tighter crawling and quality controls

 

[PPCNexus]

From my experience, Google News backlinks work more for fast indexing than for direct SEO ranking. When I used links from news sites, my pages got indexed quickly, but the long-term ranking boost was minimal.

 

[Herry412]

Google News can help pages get crawled faster, but it’s not a reliable backlink indexing method anymore. News inclusion doesn’t guarantee links will be indexed or pass value.

 

[LucaMariani1]

I'd love to know any new reliable indexing method too.

 

[vnanssayno]

I've also noticed the decline in effectiveness of Google News for backlink indexing, and it's great that we're discussing this. From my experience, focusing on high-quality content and internal linking structure can still help with crawlability and indexing. However, I'd love to hear more about what others consider "quality sites" that are still getting indexed, as this seems to be a key factor now. Are there any specific metrics or criteria that you're using to gauge the quality of a site for backlink indexing? Additionally, has anyone explored using other news-type platforms or alternative methods to help with discovery and indexing?

Most people now use Indexing API + IndexNow + quality pings, not News posts
