How Are These New Backlink Indexers Actually Forcing Google to Crawl URLs?

I've been seeing a lot of new backlink indexers popping up lately, and I'm curious how these guys are actually doing it.

I know they're not really indexing anything. They're just finding ways to get Googlebot to crawl the submitted URLs, and Google decides whether to index them or not.

I also understand that some of them are probably using services or websites that Google crawls constantly.

But the real question is how?

How are they getting thousands of submitted URLs discovered so quickly? Are they using some kind of high-crawl-frequency pages, public platforms, or something else?

I'm a developer and want to experiment with building my own private indexer, but I'm trying to figure out the actual method behind these newer services.

Anyone here looked into this or managed to build something similar? Not looking for the usual sitemap or pinging methods, just curious what's actually working these days.

They are combining URL discovery with existing crawl paths. The important factor is getting Googlebot to discover a URL doesn’t mean Google will crawl or index it.

Yeah, I get that. I'm not expecting Google to index every URL. What I'm trying to figure out is how they're tapping into those existing crawl paths at scale. Are they using specific platforms that Googlebot visits frequently, or building their own networks of constantly crawled pages? That's the part I'm curious about
 
they’re combining multiple existing crawl paths rather than relying on one platform. A network of often crawled pages could expose thousands of submitted URLs through links. The hard part is keeping those sources active and getting consistent discovery across such larger volume.
 
Most indexers rely on discovery signals rather than directly forcing Googlebot to crawl URLs be more interested in testing crawl frequency internal linking and URL discovery rates than chasing guaranteed indexing claims.
 
from my side, I think they may submit urls to a lot of platforms as backlinks, and google may like these platforms

More, maybe there is something like google spider pool

Most of these tools are basically creating extra discovery paths through third party pages , feeds and platforms that google already crawls. I wouldn't rely on the google Indexing API for backlinks though , it's limited to specific supported page types , and even a valid request only asks google to crawl the URL rather than guaranteeing a crawl or indexing. Temporary redirects can get a bot to the submitted URL , but that doesn't mean google will keep the destination indexed if the page has little value , I'd focus more on getting links discovered through platforms google already crawls than trying to force them through submission APIs

Most indexers use crawl discovery rather than guaranteed indexing.

High-crawl frequency pages, internal linking networks, and public URL feeds might assist Googlebot to discover URLs quickly.

But even crawling does not ensure that indexing takes place. It is because of other factors such as quality of content.
 
nobody's really forcing google, these services drop links to your URLs from pages that already get crawled a lot (their own sites, RSS, social) and some ping the Indexing API even though its officially only for job postings and livestreams. Thats why results vary, it might get crawled but a weak page still won't make it into the index

I feel these are nothing but submission link which google visits periodically. I have used them personally nd I found out that their results are inconsistent. It is very easy for google to visit a certain page but indexing it is an entirely different thing.
 
Most indexers likely leverage high crawl frequency platforms, discovery networks and automated URL distribution to trigger faster crawling.

The tricky part isn't getting Googlebot to visit but getting Google to recognize the page as valuable enough to index.

I'd be interested in testing different discovery sources and tracking actual crawl-to-index rates.
 
My impression is that URL discovery and indexing are two separate things just because the googlebot crawls your URL does not mean it is going to get indexed i would like to know how consistent these indexers are with their results on the google search console

typically you should be able to use such services to look for links which have been indexed by google on old sites nd RSS feeds. there are many indexing services which index fast but do not always index. personally, I would go with google search console and Server Logs.
