Any point in creating links from properties having no-index meta tags?

Consider that they could be d0follow. Noindex doesn't mean that googlebot won't follow the links but just don't include that page on the index, so many of them could be very valuable but are a little bit more difficult to track because you should be tracking the referral traffic (not just the indexability of such page which will never happen and is what commonly people do when linkbuild)
 
The only way a link like that would be worth anything is if it also got traffic from an seo perspective and no index no follow link is completely useless9
 
The idea of backlinking is to pass link juic if there is no index meta tag. what good it be? the site is invisible to search engines so none of their metrics matters. so look for blogs that allows backlinking and has good index

So properties with no-index tags are still crawled by Google?
But how do I make the google crawler reach the links? Do indexing services help in that (the crawling part)?

No index doesn't mean don't crawl. It simply means don't save the data. You can send the page to be crawled, but it will not be indexed. Although links in that page could be followed unless you set also the metatag nofollow

Tags are mostly no-index but ********. I am sending them to indexers I guess.

Problem with noindex pages that have already been crawled once, is that it is unlikely that they will be recrawled, because Mr. G will try to avoid them, since they won't be indexed, which is the common nature of Google. So regardless that you send them to indexers, if they are old pages, like niche edits and things like that they will never index again (or probably never, they could but unlikely). So indexers won't do much on this case (but this could work though low probabilities)

No. These are actually web 2.0 properties like the medium. New medium posts from new accounts/long inactive accounts are now slapped with no-index tags.
I bought some aged medium accounts with existing articles. But my new articles there are still assigned a no-index tag.
 
Depends on niche and type of blog.
If it's like a startup site , links from crunchbase etc is good.
For a business, gmb etc link is good.
Just a few example.
In general Wikipedia links are good for most niches.
Links with no context at all will likely not.

Creating links from properties that have a "no-index" meta tag is generally not a recommended SEO practice, as it can be less effective in improving your search engine rankings.

The "no-index" meta tag is used to tell search engine crawlers not to index a web page. This means that the page will not be included in search engine results, and any links pointing to that page may not be recognized or counted by search engines for ranking purposes.

While it is still possible that some search engines may crawl and follow links from "no-index" pages, it is generally not reliable and could result in wasted efforts on your part.

That being said, there may still be some value in creating links from "no-index" pages if the links themselves are high-quality and relevant to your website. For example, if the page is part of a niche community or forum where your target audience is active, and the link will bring relevant traffic to your site, it may still be worth pursuing.

However, in general, it is recommended to prioritize creating links from pages that are indexed by search engines to ensure maximum effectiveness in improving your search engine rankings.

Chatgpt has gained so much sentience that it has followed me right into this forum too.

yeah, I made a Wikipedia link again after my previous one was removed. Let's see if it sticks or not. This time I chose an innermost obscure topic page relevant to my niche.

They might remove it again because they can flag your account without you knowing. I would buy it or buy some guide on how you can create one. Or check out youtube on how to create one and read the comments before trying the method.

I would not agree with that. I'm pretty sure they will add value and are good for diversification. Btw they still can appear in GSC so I think its very unlikely that they don't have any effect. Another thing worth adding is you can index pages with no index tag but its a little bit harder and they will not have a meta descp :)

If the given link is really popular and gets tons of backlinks from high quality sources it will become indexed anyway. It look like this:1683986948669.png
The word "high quality" is the key here. Spamming the backlink with idnexer services and on low/medium quality websites will probably not work.
 
According to me, Creating links from properties that have a no-index meta tag may not directly impact your website's search engine rankings because search engines typically won't crawl or index these pages. However, there may still be some value in creating links from these properties, depending on your overall SEO strategy.
Creating links from no-index properties shouldn't be the focus of your SEO strategy. However, it may still be worthwhile if there are potential benefits, such as referral traffic or brand exposure. As with any link-building strategy, it's important to prioritize quality over quantity and ensure that your links are relevant, natural-looking, and add value to the user.
