Do Backlink Indexer help or hurt ranking?

I started to check several backlink indexer. While doing that I came across this question:

moz . com/community/q/has-anyone-used-backlinks-indexer-good-or-bad-results (sorry, I am not allowed to post links yet)

However, I think, this could be solved with a very slow drip feed. Furthermore, from all these backlinks only some will be indexed themselves.

Another thing I came across that almost all indexer leave the links for only a very short time alive.

Linklicous claims that they are the only service to leave the links longer than 14 days alive. This statement made me think and I started to search on Google about it. I came across a very interesting article from Matthew Woodward.

matthewwoodward co uk/experiments/index-backlinks-easily-revealing-case-study-results/ (sorry, I am not allowed to post links yet)

He did a trial with the worst possible combination settings on Kontent Machine to purposely generate the worst possible auto generated spun content.

He put 5 articles online on a dummy site, created 1000 links to each article using article directories, social bookmarks, wikis & web 2.0s.

After each of the 5 articles had 1000 verified links, he created 5 projects:

1. PingFarm: free indexing service PingFarm

2. Indexification: Up to 50,000 links per day for USD 17.97 a month

3. Lindexed: Up to 50,000 links per day for USD 24.97 a month

4. OneHourIndexing: up to 1,000 links per day USD 17 - up to 10,000 links per day USD 10,000 - up to 30,000 links per day USD 97

5. Control Reference Project: Created with GSA a control group of links. The links were not submitted to any indexing services or pinged in any way.

Results are very interesting. Percentage of links indexed:



His summary:

In summary here is what you need to know-

1. OneHourIndexing ? The best service period.
2. Indexification ? Half as good, 4 times cheaper.
3. Lindexed ? Don?t waste your money.
4. PingFarm ? Don?t waste your time.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since OneHourIndexing seems to be the most effective out of these 4, it would be interesting to get results from other backlink indexers such as:

backlinksindexer com
instantlinkindexer com
linkindexr com
expressindexer solutions
linkprocessor com
linkcentaur com
linklicious co

or does anyone know which indexer is (cost) effective, how long they keep their links and is there any indexer which keeps the links permanently?

Spamming a link too much with too crappy of links could conceivably harm a link's value. So a lot depends upon the QUALITY of the indexing links. Personally I favor social shares, but I don't use those services so I can't say if they work well or not anymore.

Good quality links on decent spam free platforms would index without issues.

This is already been done. Check out this thread.

Matthew woodrward is crap!

He takes money and praises that company!

I highly doubt his fake trials !
