You know that the Google bot follows links to web pages and then analyses them to add to their database.

Thousands of these little bots are scouring the Internet day and night, tirelessly collecting data.

Google has massive server farms that house all this data and then deliver their summary of it for each search on one of their web properties.

Did you know that Google estimates that they have less than 10% of the online data?

Much data is locked away behind login pages that their bots cannot access.

These are membership sites, private forums, most of Facebook, Twitter, etc., anything that requires a password to access unless Google has been granted access through a backdoor.

This has nothing to do with the dark web, which is locked away from most people, including the bots.

When you put backlinks on any site that isn’t public facing, Google cannot see them, so you are wasting your time and effort if you are doing it for SEO purposes.

Of course, these sites have their own traffic built in who will find your links and follow them.

Since links are essential for the Google bots to follow, it’s a good idea to make sure they can be found, and the best way to do that is to ensure they get indexed.

P.S.  I have reduced the subscription to the Substack membership as my contribution to your budget.

Those who were on the higher subscription have been refunded the difference between what they have paid and what the subscription is now so no one is paying more than anyone else.
