    Well. simply stated, backlinks are sites that connect to your site since they find your site useful to them. This would help increase your PR. The more PR would simply mean higher ranking and getting more traffic into your site. However, the content of your site must always be fresh and new to attract traffic and get the right sites to actively connect with you. That's all. I hope I was able to help a bit in answering your question.

    In simplest form: Backlinks are those links pointing to your site coming from other sites

    Backlinks are links pointing to your site, it can be a one way link from forums, blogs and social bookmarking or a reciprocal link from your link partners site.

    BL=backlink
    Example of BL: anchor>your site< -> linked to "your site"
    When a ppl will click on >your site< in the site who contain that code, will "arrive" in your website. This is a function of a backlink. In simple words.

    Another website or webmaster placing your website url in one of their webpage for giving alternative resource to his website visitors to visit other than his own webpages is generally known as backlink:cool:

    backlinks are links from the other site to your site also called as inbound link...
    no they are not similar to two way links... b'coz two way links also called as reciprocal links which mean they are going to swap their link with each other, exchanging link..yup exchanging links with blogs of similar niches help in getting traffic....

    To be very crude, nowadays link building have become more difficult with more and more webmasters getting greedy and selling links, theory is good encashing what you have, but that is making it difficult for newbies,option left is keep trying for free valuable links and of course occassional valuable paid ones

    Backlinks enable you to keep track of other pages on the web that link to your posts. For instance, suppose Alice writes a blog entry that Bob finds interesting. Bob then goes to his own blog and writes a post of his own about it, linking back to Alice's original post. Now Alice's post will automatically show that jane has linked to it, and it will provide a short snippet of his text and a link to his post.
