Why Indexing Matters for SEO
When you invest in backlinks and guest posts, you expect results. But if the articles your links are placed in don’t index in Google, they cannot pass any SEO value.
For Google to recognise a backlink, the page it’s on must be included in its index. If the content isn’t indexed, Google treats it as though it doesn’t exist, meaning your investment is effectively wasted.
The Hidden Risk of Low-Quality Link Sellers
A common cause of non-indexed backlinks comes from link sellers who charge based purely on Domain Authority (DA) or Domain Rating (DR). While the metrics look good on paper, these sites are often:
- Part of private blog networks (PBNs) or expired domains.
- Propped up with artificially boosted DA/DR scores.
- Generating little to no real organic traffic.
Low-traffic sites are frequently penalised or devalued by Google, meaning new content on them often never gets indexed. You could pay hundreds of dollars for a backlink that Google doesn’t even recognise.
How SEMRush Highlights the Problem
Tools like Moz and Ahrefs focus heavily on DA and DR, but SEMRush’s Authority Score offers a better indicator of a site’s real value because it factors in organic traffic.
If you compare metrics, you’ll often find that sites sold by DA/DR-based link sellers have high DA/DR but very low SEMRush Authority Scores. That’s a red flag, as it usually means the site has inflated metrics, minimal rankings, and little chance of passing meaningful SEO value.

With Premium Links, you’re not just buying a backlink, you’re securing real visibility in Google’s index.
–
Guest posts and backlinks that don’t index in Google provide no SEO benefit, no matter how high their DA or DR appear. If you’re investing in placements, you need to know that the content gets indexed, attracts traffic, and passes real authority.
Premium Links ensures that every placement is on a site with organic visibility, indexable content, and genuine authority. That means your budget works harder, your backlinks are safer, and your rankings improve faster.
If you’re tired of wasting money on backlinks Google ignores, Premium Links delivers the results you’re paying for.
