Does it work?

If you want to “see with your own eyes” that HonestIndexer.com is doing its job, there’s a super simple way: create test URLs (random) and record when Googlebot arrives to each one.

For that, we use 2 PHP scripts:

• url.php → generates a test page and logs ONLY if the visitor is Google (if the User-Agent contains “google”).
• log.php → displays the logs on screen.

1) Setup (2 minutes)

1. On your hosting, create a folder, for example:
   https://yourdomain.com/test/
2. Upload these files into that folder:
   • url.php
   • log.php
   • log.txt

2) Generate as many URLs as you want (random)

Generate URLs with this format:

Examples:

• https://yourdomain.com/test/url.php?1
• https://yourdomain.com/test/url.php?2
• https://yourdomain.com/test/url.php?3
• https://yourdomain.com/test/url.php?4
• https://yourdomain.com/test/url.php?5

They don’t have to be numbers: you can make up anything, for example:

• https://yourdomain.com/test/url.php?goodday

The important thing is to keep the url.php? format, because the script uses that to identify and log each visit.

3) Submit those URLs to HonestIndexer

1. Copy your list of random URLs.
2. Paste them into HonestIndexer (one per line) and submit them.

4) Wait for Googlebot and verify it

After a few hours (roughly between 2 and 24 hours), Googlebot should have visited your URLs.

Open the viewer:

https://yourdomain.com/test/log.php

There you’ll see a table with:

• Timestamp (exact date/time)
• Page (your identifier: whatever you placed after the ?)
• Path (the clickable URL)
• IP / headers (REMOTE, XFF, etc.)
• User-Agent (this is where “Googlebot” should appear)

This way, you’ll be able to confirm with your own eyes that Googlebot is visiting you, and that at HonestIndexer we’re honest about what we promise.
