Web 2.0 not indexed - so backlinks have no value?

I have a few Web 2.0 properties, and I'm thinking about building out more.

None of my web 2.0s are indexed (some 6+ months old).

If a page with my backlink is not indexed, then it doesn't have any value- correct?

I see a lot of ads for Web 2.0 services, but when I check out their examples, most are not indexed.

So what's the point?

Most web 2.0 services offer free indexing in their package but most of the time they don't work. So you gotta buy indexing services seperately. That's my observation. I may be wrong.

Yes, that's correct.

Use any link indexing service to get them indexed.

No point... you need to index them at least but ideally you need to build some links to them and that's when cheap PBN links come handy.

Yes, google wont provide to value if your backlinks aren't indexed. Try indexing service from marketplace

Nothing new has been going around for a few years now.

Backlink from any property on internet if it isn't indexed in google then brings no link value.
Interestingly some people buy expired domains which have links from archive pages of big editorial & news websites.
They see these links in the backlink profile on tools like ahrefs, semrush etc.
But at most times when you check these links in google they aren't indexed.

These links even if indexed won't do any wonders for ranking your property although they are decent to diversify your websites backlink profile.
But these links used to work in past and so they have a history and reputation.
The demand for cheap links is huge and so there's a market for it.
So, the whole point is about selling something that still has huge demand in market.

Despite these links being not as effective as they used to be why is there a huge demand?
I think it's mostly because most people are not upto date on the updates and development in the SEO industry.

Correct, you have to index them. non Index links are useless.

Correct, but there are indexing services that could help you out with that.

Lack of natural indexation of web 2 links and other kinds of links have been the challenge SEO have been experiencing for quite a while now.

Reattempt via GSC.

I think the main reason people buy web2 links is because they can't afford proper links.

I find some web2 links services even pricier than regular links ones. I've never been into launching one service like such because I don't really understand the reasoning behind it.
I would feel kind of scammy selling such as-is (maybe with a little twist on the thing of doing such, we might rethink it)
It's like those water witches that sell the service to finding water under the earth. I've talked to them, and they TRULY believe in their service, despite it's a pure placebo.

Make backlinks to web 2.0
Get them indexed.
If you want you can buy web 2.0 with backlink blast.
There are some good provides in bhw marketplace

These days most of the web 2.0 links are not indexing in Google. If needed you can try indexing services or send some links to it. Instead you can focus on high quality PBN links.
