    backlink is any link received by a web node (web page, directory, website, or top level domain) from another web node.

    Hi avita123. Backlinks are links pointing to your site from other site. At times they can be beneficial to your site, sending visitors. Google tent to also rate your sites "popularity" on backlinks. But beware, backlinks from bad neighbors can get your site penalized. Google's webspam team are now manually penalizing sites for unnatural backlinks which would include directory and forum backlinks that are spam, copy and non-relevant to your site. A valuable backlink comes from a reputable site that's posts or pages are relevant to yours. Beware how you go about link building, if done incorrectly, it will indeed course more harm than good

    And DON'T ever buy auto generated links, or for that matter any link from so called high PR sites that don't take the time out to write an original, unique article about your site or those that are in a different niche. And beware, excessive reciprocal links can also give you a penalty (you link to me and I link to you) especially those not relevant to your site. Its not about how many backlinks you have, its about the quality of those backlinks. Market your site wisely with originality, quality, uniqueness and relevance.

    It is a link that points to your website.
    Usually you can post a link in your blog to do that.

    Link from an external page with different domain or server that refers to your website are know as backlinks and also known as incoming links. Back links are important to get PR for your website. This will help rankings in the SERPs.

    Backlinks are links from any other site to your website. They are also known as incoming links, inbound links .Links from your website to other sites are onward links, frequently clarified as links or hyperlinks. Backlinks are very significant for your website because you want them to get good page ranking with search engine.
