Understand What a Backlink Indexing Tool Does

Perfect πŸ‘ β€” you want to use the custom backlink indexing tool code I gave you inside your WordPress site.
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to make it work β€” even if you’ve never built a plugin before.

🧩 Step-by-Step: How to Use the Code
πŸͺœ Step 1: Access Your WordPress Files

You have 3 ways to do this:

Option A: Use your web hosting file manager (e.g., Hostinger, cPanel, etc.)
Option B: Use FTP/SFTP with FileZilla
Option C: If using LocalWP or similar, open your local WordPress folder.

πŸͺœ Step 2: Go to the Plugins Directory

Navigate to this path:

/wp-content/plugins/

Inside it, you’ll see folders like akismet, hello.php, etc.

πŸͺœ Step 3: Create a New Folder for the Tool

Create a new folder named:

backlink-indexer

πŸͺœ Step 4: Create Two Files Inside It

Inside that folder, create:

backlink-indexer.php
functions.php

πŸͺœ Step 5: Add the Code

πŸ‘‰ backlink-indexer.php

/*
Plugin Name: Backlink Indexer Tool
Description: A simple tool to submit URLs to ping services for faster indexing.
Version: 1.0
Author: Your Name

πŸͺœ Step 6: Activate the Plugin

Go to your WordPress Dashboard

Click Plugins β†’ Installed Plugins

Find Backlink Indexer Tool

Click Activate

βœ… Your plugin is now live!

πŸͺœ Step 7: Add the Shortcode to a Page

Create a new page (Pages β†’ Add New)

Title it: Backlink Indexing Tool

In the content editor, paste this shortcode:

[backlink_indexer]

Click Publish

Visit the page β€” you’ll now see a simple form!

πŸͺœ Step 8: Test It

Enter 1–5 URLs (one per line)

Click Submit URLs

You’ll see confirmation messages like:
β€œPing sent for: https://example.com/page1”

βœ… Done! You now have a working Backlink Indexer Tool inside WordPress.

πŸ’‘ Bonus Tips

To style the form, add CSS inside your theme’s Additional CSS area.

You can replace pingomatic.com with other ping or indexing APIs for faster results.

For Google Indexing API (for valid page types), you can extend this with API keys.

Would you like me to upgrade this code to include:

better design (styled form), and

optional Google Indexing API integration

so it looks like a real SEO tool page (similar to β€œInstantLinkIndexer”)?
