    I have been doing webmastering for some time but I haven't really gotten into in all of the years i have been doing it.. I have always heard of backlinks but I have never actually ever knew what they are.. I know it has something to do with putting links on your site...

    Or is that it really is..

    Backlinks are links on other sites that point to your site. For example, if I put a http://www.google.com link here, that is a backlink to Google. That is a very basic explanation. You can go a lot more in-depth when discussing backlinks, Do/NoFollow, strategies, etc.

    Backlinks are incoming links to a website or web page. Inbound links were originally important (prior to the emergence of search engines) as a primary means of web navigation; today their significance lies in search engine optimization (SEO).

    A back link is an inward link to your site that may or may not be reciprocated with an outward link back. If page A links to page B then a back link would be a link which goes from page B back to page A.For example let’s consider you find an interesting article on web and you require the article to be displayed on your website hence you link the article to your website. Now your website acts as a back link to that article or to the URL where the article is originally located.

    A link from other website to your website is called the backlink. The other name of the link is inbound link.

    Also, good backlinks are links to your site with the same subject.

    Link building means generating the link of your website on high PR website so the PR of your website is increasing. Link checking means finding whether the link you have generated are exist or not.

    A backlink is a link from another site to yours. The number, importance, relevance of these links are used to calculate the value of your website by the search engines. The best quality links come from authority sites with high pagerank. Backlinks influence a site's positioning in the search engine result pages.
