    Backlinks are those links that link back to your site after someone has clicked on them. And Link bait are sites that are designed to have a great number of links .

    Link bait is not necessary black hat. The term "link bait" just refers to some form of content that would entice people to link to it. The simplest form of this, is just posting really good unique content, which is far from black hat.

    Backlinks are incoming links from a website/ web-page. Backlinks or ‘votes of confidence’ from related, high authority websites increase a website’s credibility. Linkbait, on the other hand, is a linkbuilding technique and it’s purely a white-hat technique. Since I find many friends tagging the technique as black-hat, I’d like to detail a little:
    You create an interesting newsworthy topic keeping SEO writing techniques in mind and post it on popular social media channels. This content/ feature acts as a bait and encourages others to link to it. What’s unethical in this?
    Google won’t penalize you for this. Get going...And if still you doubt me, check this:

    “I think of “linkbait” as something interesting enough to catch people’s attention, and that doesn’t have to be a bad thing.” - Matt Cutts, Anti-spam head at Google

    Link bait is not necessarily 'black-hat'. The idea behind link baiting is to great a feature, article, service, etc. on your site that is so popular, it generates a lot of links to it.

    Back Links are the link your build manually or thru bot to get links for your site from other sites.
    Link Bait is a way to get back links on extensively by creating a value able content for visitors and if the visitors are like they share the content and you get more and more backlinks when anyone share your content.

    Link Bait is of eight types.

    In reality... the term "Link Bait" refers to exactly what Google is looking for.

    Google thinks a good website: produces helpful unique content that people are interested in and want to share with other people.

    That is exactly what link bait is...

    Link bait is not any black hat techniques. It's also considered as a natural link building technique. Link bait simply involves adding of unique article on any burning issues, controversial issues or any new exciting tool which is very demanding. By such update of your site people get interested and link to your site. It's also natural SEO as well as other SO techniques. Simply if you put a viral content which make your site exclusive than others is called link baiting.

    Link baiting and backlinking are totally different from each other. They are just opposite from each other.
    link baiting is to way to get more and more back links but backlinks are coming links on website..
