Here is a commonly asked question:

Do I need an indexing tool or software like Traffic Bug to get my website indexed by the Search Engines?

In the Thirty Day Challenge, a popular internet marketing course , a tool called Traffic Bug is recommended to facilitate fast indexing of webpages. Traffic Bug claims to do many things, but basically is aimed to automate a host of activities internet marketers want to perform, like social bookmarking, article submission, rss submissions and more. It does so by submitting your articles and information to a wide array of social networks and directories automatically and cuts out the time needed to create individual profiles and perform manual submissions for each website.

While the Traffic Bug website claims to build your website back links on autopilot, which has been a hotly debated promise in itself, the Thirty Day Challenge Team lead by Ed Dale encourages the use of traffic bug simply as an ‘Indexing Tool’.

The theory is, if you make enough noise on a number of websites, you will get noticed quickly and Google & co will index your website fast.

But really, do we need a solution like Traffic Bug just to get our websites indexed? Do we need a sophisticated automation tool that sends out our content to a massive array of websites, just to get noticed by Google? And do we need to pay for a tool like this?

Do we need all this noise, just to get a page indexed?

Answer: NO

Saying otherwise is a ‘Bastion Of Bullshit’. Sorry Ed Dale.

It’s really dead easy to get indexed and found by Google if you have a brand new website. You can cough and your site will get found. All it really takes is a one decent link pointing to your website from a place that is already indexed and that gets crawled regularly.  In half the time it takes to enter your information into a tool like traffic bug, you could have placed a link on the web which would have done the same job with a great deal more elegance, without having to get close to the grey area of spam – which a tool like Traffic Bug is easily abused for.

So why does Internet Millionaire and Internet Marketing Guru Ed Dale and his loyal 30DC crew promote Traffic Bug as an indexing tool?

I have NO IDEA.

And I have no idea why they endorse Traffic Bug despite an obvious trail of legitimate misgivings around the service. All I know that it makes them look foolish and it definitely helps confuse internet marketing beginners.

There a dozens and dozens of better, cheaper and faster ways to get indexed than Traffic Bug (here are a few great ones), save yourself the time, money and the risk of getting your site noticed in negative ways. You don’t need ‘special tools’ to get your webpages indexed.
