Site ranks and converts on Google without ever submitting to GSC, thanks to 500 daily-built backlinks
mazzaTalk · x · 2026-09-17
An indie developer discovered his two-month-old site was already generating sales despite never being submitted to Google Search Console or wired up with Plausible analytics.
He attributes the rankings to a daily automated backlink-submission job that has been running continuously, having built up roughly 500 backlinks so far — enough authority to rank without any manual indexing submission.
Key takeaway: consistent, automated link-building can carry Google rankings even when basic indexing setup is skipped.
