Take a look at the information at Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backlink
Yes GrodanBoll, backlinks are very important to push your site in search engines and for Google you need do follow backlinks only.
A back link is an inward link to your site that may or may not be reciprocated with an outward link back. If page A links to page B then a back link would be a link which goes from page B back to page A.For example let’s consider you find an interesting article on web and you require the article to be displayed on your website hence you link the article to your website. Now your website acts as a back link to that article or to the URL where the article is originally located.
Backlink is important in seo.If we build quality links,we get benefits.We should build links with pagerank then only our site will improve.
back links are the links form other site to your site which can be two way links also normally called as reciprocal links ,they help in increasing the traffic to your site as well helps in improving your website rank.
Backlinks: The backlinks are the links that are traced back to your site/blog by the people from the sources that you had visited and left your links there to be crawled back. Sources for backlinks: The sources for getting Quality Backlinks can be Social Bookmarking Sites, Social Networks, Forums, Blogs, Social Groups and Article Directories etc.
Backlinking is one of the best SEO methods that you can use. It can easily improve your traffic and your PR. I also believe that creating quality custom content on a regular basis will help you with our SEO efforts.
Google is like God - he has no eyes but he sees everything!! A) Google can quickly see if there's duplicate content - and that equals bad. B) Google can see the number of words and text in a page. C) Google can see what "Rich" media there is in a site (Videos, images, ratings, JavaScript). D) You get the drift... also time spent on your site, pages etc. Can be a measuring tool (or bounce). ONLY insinuates that back links is all that's important for SEO and while it is some what true - external links don't carry as much weight as they used to, your own internal links are just as important and as valuable. Site structure and navigation plays a pivotal role. Content plays 60% of a role in SEO, followed by internal linking (15%) and site structure (15%)... 10% goes to all the other - such as age, site reputation, etc. My tip is to forget about link building... it's not as vaulable as many will preach and it's a totally natural part of growth of a site - if you build it they (links) will come!!
Every one gave tips for me to understand and also explained in detail with some example, thanks for all.
