    getting LINKS back to your site.

    generally: the more, the better
    generally: the higher quality, the better

    does this help?

    As mentioned, links back to your site from other sites.

    A Quality is a link from a site that is the same topic as yours. Front page links are best compared to links on pages inside a site.

    that's a bit more complicated...

    but suffice it to say... a BACKLINK from YAHOO! is higher quality than one from me. :)

    some people consider a site with HIGH GOOGLE PAGERANK (PR) as high quality.

    good luck.

    Its when another site has link on their site to your site. I think backlink stems from the idea that you give hime a link, he gives link back to you. However, it does not have to be a link exchange. Even one-way links are called backlinks.
