This is an update of the study I originally ran in early 2022 to test the effectiveness of indexing services advertised on BHW. I chose to use orphaned pages to test these services, as using any pages with internal linking or external links pointing to them would result in too many external factors to properly work out the main important point of an indexer - that it works to index a page. I ran my last test 'on the fly', updating as the test went on. This time I've already conducted the test (along with testing some other link types for my own research), and am sharing the complete results now.
Once again I've made 7 sets of 4 contextual profiles. These profiles are on sites that currently have multiple pages indexed, and anyone can register on them. The profiles all include 500+ words of text that is completely unique but not really human-readable.
The services I'm using are:
EliteLinkIndexer - https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/elitelinkindexer-com-premium-backlinks-indexer.1298186/
IndexInject - https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/i...t-your-links-right-into-googles-index.938225/
Linkdexing - https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/l...t-works-upto-90-indexing-rate-period.1380394/
LinksIndexing - https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/g...ice-100-links-crawling-starts-from-3.1377158/
IndexingExpert - https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/i...n-bhw-at-0-08-link-free-trial-inside.1388268/

AddToIndex - https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/a...ndexing-solution-for-2022-and-beyond.1390675/
There are two excluded services:
EpicIndexer - https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/i...arasites-60-index-rate-the-first-day.1468728/
This service had no payment option enabled at their checkout when I came to submit my links. I've just re-checked, and all there is in the payment methods section is 'Empty'.
Backlinks Indexing Service - https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/backlinks-indexing-service-guaranteed-indexing.1445337/
This service involves emailing the links you want indexing to a user. This is neither user-friendly nor convenient. Get a web-based front end.
All new accounts were setup to conduct this test. No 'free credits' or any other offers were used, all paid accounts.
* Caveat: You may see an indexing service linked to in my forum signature. This is a paid ad and the service advertised has received no special considerations when performing this test.
How am I checking indexing?
I'm using two different searches to determine whether a page is indexed:
site:domain.com/page and cache:domain.com/page
The first operator is the one that most use to check indexing, the second I use as I find a cached page tends to stick around in the index longer. Results will be shown as either a green tick indicating the url was present, or a red cross indicating the url was not present. So
would indicate that the url was found with a site: operator but not a cache: operator. I tracked indexing every day for a week, and then followed up one week later. The study time commenced when the urls were submitted to each service. No 'drip feed' values were given, I went for whatever 'immediate indexing' option each service had.
On to the data!
Conclusion
We have 3 services that indexed 100% of what I submitted after 14 days, and 1 that indexed 75%. It also appears that a page will first be visible via cache: most of the time before it appears in a site: query. This might be worth looking at if you are seeing urls being slow to index.
Bonus Information
Two of the services were capable of indexing .pdf files (appearing both in site: and cache: queries). These were LinksIndexing and IndexingExpert. They took about 4-5 days to index.
