What are backlinks?

    I'm wondering if someone has a concise definition of what are backlinks. For example, do paid advertisements count as backlinks? Also, how do these backlink companies that you pay generate backlinks for you? Wouldn't these paid backlinks by definition be spammy and get ignored by the search engines or even worse they could cause your site to get de-ranked? Are there quality backlink companies vs sketchy ones?

    Backlinks, also known as "inbound links" or "incoming links," are links from one website to another. They are important for search engine optimization (SEO) because search engines use them as a way to measure the relevance and authority of a website. The more high-quality backlinks a website has, the higher it is likely to rank in search engine results pages (SERPs). Backlinks can also drive traffic to a website from other sources and help to establish credibility and authority in a particular subject area.

    Paid advertising is another part and search engines will not count as backlinks. Generally link builder choose website for link building or category according to niche markets and its completely depend on budget, Some one charging $100.00 for a high quality link by guest posting and someone $5.00, So, you can compare easily that what types of links you can get for $5.00. Generally search engines ignore spammy links but access or anything can be bad :D and reason of penalty.

    Paid ads won't be direct links, they'll get passed through the ad platforms systems so that impressions and demographic data can be counted. Ad links are usually pretty obvious and the search engine know to ignore them. On top of that ads won't, typically, be the same for every visitor of a page because they're targetted - and because they're unreliable the search engines won't count them because they're looking for stability when indexing. Fresh is good, but each time they visit a new page it should be the same.

    Backlinks are links from one website to another. They are essentially references or citations from one site to another and are important for SEO

    Backlinks are links on one website that point to another website. They're also known as inbound or external links.

    Sometimes, depends on the technology,
    the border line is blurry between them.

    Depends on the provider of the links, from the high quality,
    completely legitimate, white, and fluffy, to something else.

    For example, I can teach you (gratis), how to
    place your links free of charge (gratis) on my sites.

    Then your links will be my content.
