Personally I just leave all of my links idle to index by themselves, I mean if your building links on decent websites, they'll get indexed pretty quickly. If your building links on pages which you need to get indexed yourself, then the chances are they're going to be pretty low quality links and spending the extra effort to get them indexed, really isn't worth it. To be honest, just pinging a list of all of un-indexed backlinks on a daily basis will usually get them indexed pretty quickly.
It'll usually take a few days for backlinks to get indexed, you've got to give search engines time to find the new links.
According to me if you create rss feed of your backlink and ping them then your backlink will be crawled by search engines.
First of all let us know what kinda backlinks are you trying to get index since if your backlinks has quality in it google will definitely index it, you don't need to worry about indexing just do quality work and leave it to Big G for indexing it.
You can build other links towards those ones and pass more juice and also help Google find them. I find Google indexes Wordpress blogs tremenously quickly so you can make WP blogs pointing to your other links and Google should crawl them.
Usually it just gets few days to get your website ranked and indexed the backlinks.Ping could be a smarter option.
I've recently been testing out profile links and their use as backlinks to my sites. Like you say its difficult to get any of these links actually indexed and for obvious reasons really... why would google want to index a page which is a profile which has nothing much on it like all the other profiles for that forum apart from a link thrown in? I have had more luck getting profiles indexed when they are properly completed. If you are outsourcing this work get your profile builder to fill all the fields in and especially the signature/bio field, a nice chunk of text in there about your site (mentioning other keywords) and also including your backlink has massively increased the indexing of my profiles pages as your profile now has some substance giving google a reason to index. Another good thing to do is record all the forums and locations that do actually end up getting indexed and use this list for future profiles.
^ A sitemap is a .xml file which contains all your website's links. Google the topic for more detailed information - you'll find a lot more info on google about how to make them, etc. When you have your sitemap.xml file, just submit it to google via webmaster tools and there ya go, google has a map to all of your website's pages.
addurl services, post links on free blog services (blogspot / wordpress.com) + submit feeds, social bookmarking, link in e-mail (also gets indexed), link in some essay and submit it to scribd or other sites, submit articles...
ping the pages that you are linking. send the links to the social media sites, share it with your friends and tell them to visit it regularly. when people will start visiting it you will be indexed. thanks
Even though you can let your backlinks be indexed naturally, it wont work with certain links like the profile links. Sometimes google will not even indxe those link. What i would suggest is to follow the given two methods 1) Make an rss feed of your urls, and submit to loads of rss directories 2) Build backlinks to your main backlinks, like a tier 2 backlinks 3) Bookmark all backlinks 4) Ping all backlinks
