[2024 BHW Indexer Study]

Here is the 2024 edition of a study I seem to be running yearly since 2022, testing every current indexing service that promotes their wares on BHW. I use orphaned pages to run these tests, devoid of any internal/external links or entries in sitemaps, as there should be no way for spiders to reach these pages without a working indexer notifying them of their existence. I've gone one step further this time, and I'm now tracking exactly if and when Googlebot visits these orphaned pages.

I set up pages on 5 domains that I own, 1 page for each indexing service. These pages have no internal or external links, are not included in any sitemaps, and have only been visited via a de-Googled Chrome browser. Each page has 500+ words of complete garbage auto-generated but unique content. The sites on all the domains were already naturally indexed before commencing the study. I'm tracking any visits from Googlebot via the access_log for each domain - no third party stats packages, straight from the main data source.

As of Jan 2024 when I started the study there were 10 providers offering indexing services in the BHW marketplace.

I tried to contact this service: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/u...ce-discounts-available-pbnhosting-io.1533397/
But received no reply, and their sales thread is now closed, so they're excluded.

All new accounts were setup to conduct this test. No 'free credits' or any other offers were used, all paid accounts.

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 in 1 week intervals until 28 days elapsed. Time began 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

I'll leave that down to you guys, as they all have different price points, speed and reliability.

Additional Information

Services capable of indexing .pdf files: AddToIndex (~14 days), Linkdexing (~14 days), PageIndexer (~2 days), and SmartIndexer (~2 days).
EliteLinkIndexer did send Googlebot to some other orphaned urls I was testing it with, but not the ones I was using for this study unfortunately.
SMMTribe cancelled my indexing order and removed the indexing service from their services list some time during the study with no notification given.
A mix of indexing techniques seems to be made by all the working services.
Linkdexing sent the widest variety of search engine bots (Bing, Yandex, TikTok Bytedance spider etc)

It's amazing study OP. What I like the most is you set a unbiased environment and actually invested to study it as you mentioned none of these are from free credits, all are paid.
