 I Made few backlinks with my keyword but they are not getting index and it has been for 15 days. Do you have any idea that will help me out to solve this problem and also to index back links quickly.

 Share the link in Twitter, Facebook, Google plus and Pinterest to get index fast.

 You can use 3rd party indexing services, which starts from $17 per month.

 Hi Rohit, Just to follow up and add to what others have said: if you built links from third-party websites, pointing to your site, Google should crawl the third-party websites and see the links pointing to you within 15 days. If Google is not crawling the site more regularly than once every 15 days, the websites are probably lower in quality and not great sources of backlinks to begin with. If you are using Moz / Ahrefs, etc. are slower in crawling and indexing than Google. Moz often updates once every 30 days, so could pick up these news links in its next crawl. Ahrefs tends to be slightly faster, but is still not instantaneous in picking up new links.

 I'm not sure what you mean by backlinks are not getting indexed. From your description, it sounds like you added new pages to the site, and they are not showing up in results or as being indexed? 
 "I Made few backlinks with my keyword but they are not getting index and it has been for 15 days."1. What tools are you using to see if the backlink source is indexed? 
 2. Where did you get the backlinks from? Were they natural or paid? If they were a paid link, I'm not sure that is the best approach.
 3. Depending on the importance of the source linking to you, it can be a lot longer than 15 days for Google to crawl the linking domian. They may have their sitemap set to a monthly crawl, in which case you will not see results for a while.
 4. Backlinks dont get indexed based off of your site. This is a factor you cannot control. If the source is valid, and authoritive, you can link out the the page your site is linked from, and try and speed up the process.

 Sharing the page that contains the link you want indexed on Google+ is a quick and easy way to signal Google to come crawl that page and re-index it.

 Firs off don't don't build links for same keyword (if you're). Second, if these links have not been crawled by Google for last 15 days, then they are not at all quality links. Though, as Erwan mentioned do check for those backlink Google Webmaster Tools, MOZ to see they these tools are able to crawl them or not. If They're also not able to crawl them then those links are of no value.

 Did you check with several tools that no links are getting indexed ? (Google Webmaster Tools, MOZ, Ahrefs, MajesticSEO...). If your links are not visible on any of these crawlers, they are probably not very valuable anyway.

		Blog post outreach for backlinks
 Hi all, My understanding of obtaining backlinks by way of blogpost outreach is that it's best to include several outbound links to related high domain websites within blog post copy (as well as a link to the website you're marketing, obviously) such as this post https://www.scoopearth.com/why-should-you-use-royalty-free-music-for-youtube-videos/ or this one https://small-bizsense.com/how-to-create-quality-content-for-your-business/. However, I've recently read a few articles that suggest that from a human perspective only having one clear link in the copy, such as this post https://www.clichemag.com/entertainment/movies/the-benefits-of-royalty-free-cinematic-music-for-your-videos/, increases the chance of the reader visiting the site in question. I guess the thinking is that if there's only one link to be clicked on it increases the chances of click-thru, as opposed to the reader possibly clicking on another external link that's only there because of current SEO advice. So is it best to follow SEO guidelines and include several outbound links within guest blog posts, or is it better to only have the one link to your client's site (to focus the readers attention on it)?

		Backlink Transparency with SEO Agency
 Hello everyone. I recently started working with an SEO agency and today they gave me an updated keyword report which showed some increase in rankings. I was not aware that any backlinks had been created yet so I asked for a report of the links. Their response is below and I am just wondering if this is normal practice being I have not worked with any type of SEO agency yet. " Link Building | | wonderd24
 Hey Daniel, We release a small report on them which the guest blog team will do soon. We don't reveal all backlink sources unfortunately because people have tried to bother the webmasters we have and basically steal our techniques. But rest assured you will be ranking at the top of the pack with our methods 😃

		Spammy no follow backlinks - what should I do?
 There is a individual/company that is creating lots of spam sites in my niche. It doesn't seem that they are trying to rank for any keywords, so I'm a little confused as to their purpose, but here's what they're doing. They scrape the top 10 Google results for each keyword and create a page - so if the niche is "widgets", they scrape the top 10 ranked sites for 'widgets', 'blue widgets', 'red widgets', and so on. A 'results' page is created for each keyword, which is linked from a home page. The results page always contains 10 websites - text is the site metadescription or similar. Each website gets a nofollow link back with the page title used as the anchor text. The host sites all have the keyword in the domain name - e.g www.widgetsxyz.com. The sites are thrown together but interestingly have a very crappy but individual logo (like 90's clipart). The host sites all have high DA/PA due to some very extensive link spam pointing to the sites, with very targeted keywords. There is seemingly no purpose to these sites that I can see - no other 'followed' links on the page or site. Whoever is doing this is churning out tens, if not hundreds of these sites. Any ideas what might be going on here, and whether I should be disavowing these sites (even though no follow). The fear is that they could switch the links to do follow, and get all the major players penalised in one fell swoop. ??? Link Building | | johnohara0

		How important is the originating country of backlinks?
 How important is it that you gain backlinks from websites in the same country you're targeting? Scenario: You have a website targeting users in Japan. How important is it that backlinks to your website are from Japanese websites? Do you need a majority of links from Japanese websites to rank well, or will you do OK with 25% Japanese links and 75% links from other countries? According to Majestic, sites for popular Japanese brands like tsutaya.co.jp and seiyu.co.jp get more links from US sites than from Japanese sites. Link Building | | AdamThompson0

		Adding backlinks in old articles?
 I am trying to get a few more links to get a few of my pages to rank and I am thinking about adding some more backlinks on my own site on some of the old blog articles as well as some of my other related blogs. My question is - is it still beneficial to link from these articles that are say 1 year old or more, or would it be far more valuable to write new articles on the blog containing those same links?

		How does Google treat multiple backlinks on the same page?
 Hello mozCrew Just a quick yay or nay. We have an embeddable code on our site for customers who want to post our link on their website listed here: http://www.accupos.com/etc/embed-code-restaurants.php But in our link, there are actually 2 separate links, one branding link that says the name of our company, AccuPOS, and another link which targets a specific target keyword "Restaurant POS Software". My question is, does Google only give credit for the branding link, since it is listed FIRST? Or will we get double credit? Is this a good or bad practice, and what would you recommend? Thank you!

		Creating Backlinks On Behalf of Client
 I'm on my first SEO project with a law firm. I'm at the stage where I am doing competitive backlink research on other law firms that my client gave me. I saw a blog site called typepad. It has a high domain authority so I was going to recommend to my client that they set up an account and blog away! Since it's a law firm, I am not qualified to start blogging on behalf of my client and I know they are extremely busy so now I have to "ride" my client to get busy and start creating content. I feel like I want to do more for them on the blog side to keep things going but not having a law background, probably not doable. Question: Do most SEO's do the blogging for their clients, farm it out or keep pushing their clients to do it? I also want them to sign up with articlebase but the same thing is going to happen. I have to push them to write articles. I guess this is my job? -Bob Link Building | | Czubmeister0
