> Being visible on social media. I monitor discussions around the Google Indexing topics and add my replies there. I don't just spam in replies with my tools, in most cases, I genuinely answer and bring value. If my reply gets a reply, I may include my URL in the next reply.

I see what you did there.

Worked on me!

to be honest, I exchange value for attention. That's what good internet is about. Im not just promoting stuff for my own sake. My key goal here is to give as much value as I can first. If I earn respect this way, then I'm allowed to share my tool.

You should make this an actual clickable link just FYI, as it will then serve as a backlink when HN renders it via an <a> tag.

Wait <a> tags work on HN? I thought it just auto-linkified?

Like so: https://listingbott.com

The generated HTML on HN when you inspect the source is like so:

    <a href="https://listingbott.com" rel="nofollow">https://listingbott.com</a>

It is a nofollow link so not sure how much SEO juice you'd get out of it, but if I google Index Rusher right now, I get this HN post as the second link, where the first is the product's website itself.

really? How does it get indexed by google so fast? posted an hour ago. pretty cool
