    As per your mentioned "
    "You might have seen that websites with less backlinks are ranked on top positions in Search Engines"
    less backlink mean there are still backlink, not no backlink
    And you should always keep on mind that quality of backlink is more important than quantity of backlink
    Some site might have only few backlink but all from high quality site, it can beat thousands backlink from low quality site

    Yes, backlinks are important. Google themselves state that backlinks need to be relevant and quality-oriented. If you can get a few relevant backlinks from .edu and .gov sites, these hold more weight than thousands of non-relevant .com backlinks. So if a site is ranked high but doesnt have many backlinks, they are probably high quality backlinks which got it the better ranking. There is also competition of the search term the site is ranking for. If the competition is low, then it may be easy for the site to rank with only 1 backlink or none if the other sites dont have any either.

    I guess it depends on the domain name also. If the domain name has niche keywords and the competitors don't have many backlinks, even the new website can be on top positions if it had relevant quality content. Somebody could correct me if I am wrong.

    Wow, nearly two pages of exactly the same message.

    Are you all silly?! Like actually silly?

    backlinks ARE a huge part of the internet of COURSE YOU NEED THEM!

    If we didn't have backlinks, how would we find out about other websites on the internet? LOL.

    SEO is 10% on page optimization and 90% off page optimization (meaning back links)

    Backlinks are really important and can change to position of your website a lot in search engines. Like this:If you make quality backlinks for your website, your website ranks high in search engines. And if yo make low quality backlinks for your website, your website will be dropped in SERP a lot.
