    First, what is a backlink or incoming link?
    A backlink is simply a link pointing to your page from another page that is indexed by the search engine.

    Before I explain what is a Quality Backlink, lets define that there are 2 kind of baklinks:

    a = Natural (a backlink created by somebody without your intervention) - this is a "white hat' type of link
    b = Forced (a backlink created by yourself or outsourced) - this is a "grey hat" type of link

    Because of commercial value of backlinks, probably 90-95% of all backlinks are forced ones.

    Now, what is a Quality Backlink? This is a link:

    1. from "STRONG" related web page (Strong = High PageRank + TrustRank + Authority + Age) for a variation of your keyword
    2. are 100% RELATED to your own page's keyword theme
    3. content backlink (link surrounded by relevant text)
    4. has the "EXACT" anchor text (words) of the keyword you are ranking for
    5. position on the page (higher up is better)
    6. "dofollow" type of link


    Also, you have to take into consideration the following aspects:
    - Link Velocity ( the rate/speed at which you build links to your site) - Start off slowly!
    - Link Diversity (you have to build all types of links both dofollow and nofollow:
    content links, bookmarks, web directory links, forum profile signature links, web 2.0 property links, and so on.


    It is very rarely happen and very hard to get Quality Backlink! But all other backlink
    that are not highest quality still can do the work for you and those links are 99%.

    A quality backlink is a link from a high page rank site. One link from that is better than around 10 links from a low page rank site.

    This leaves the a question of what does work? As a rule you don't get quality links from high PR sites. They have earned their PR because they are the sort of sites that do not trade in links. And those that do charge for a high PR listing can hardly claim quality status. Then there are organic links which seldom come with anchor text. So what are we left with?

    This is a question we all ask and I am not sure whether anyone will ever come up with a concrete answer.

    You need to build links from themed website with high page rank and less outbound links. It should be do follow link and from separate IP.

    Hi,

    Quality backlinks simply refer to backlinks being from authority sites and also relevance to content. Your backlinks must be informative and appropriate else it just fails to do the job of a good backlink.

    These criteria make a backlink a quality backlink:

    1. trust (if the backlinks comes from .edu, .gov, i's more powerful)
    2. PR of the page the backlink comes from - the higher the better
    3. PR of the index page of the linking domain - the higher the better, but this is not as important as #2
    4. Relevancy of the linking website to your website - The more relevant the better.

    Let me give an example: You have a website about online courses of the English language. Ideally, I would gather backlinks from .edu websites about e-learning, whose index page's PR is 8 and PR of the backlinking page is 5+.

    You make this sound real easy. But in practise you don't get links from authority or PR8 sites for the asking. And if you do the chances are that they are not going to last. So what is the point? Link building is a process that requires anchor text that points to key words in a pages title tag. And the sites you are looking for are those that are well run, spam free and which accept links to your internal pages. Links that last two, three, five and even ten years. This is link building. This is the coal face. Its a process which started from the year dot and every link builder does it, putting together a long list and a resource that they guard jealously

    Organic links on the other hand happen naturally, an unforeseen spin off, a result of putting together a successful marketing and PR campaign to generate traffic. And whilst the cumulative effective is good, often very good, for serp's its not link building in the true sense of the word.

    And I don't understand why I am the only one doing it this way. How come every one else has the time and the resources needed to access and utilise high PR .EDU sites that don't exist for me? Am I the only one getting the results I do from 'those other sort of' sites?

    Quality Backlinks means manual/natural backlinks. Without using any software if we build links then its called quality backlinks.
