Indexing

[Donnie Usmadi]

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.
