    Backlinks are links from other web sites to your web site.

    These are also known as "In Bound Link" or IBL's.

    If someone asks you for a backlink, they are wanting an inbound link to their web site.

    Backlinks are links to your site. They increase Page rank and sometimes bring traffic from other sites.

    They can be a reciprocal link or one way link. Reciprocal links are 1 link on your site for one link on that site. One way links are just that a link on a site and no link back to that site.

    Any Site that is pointing to your site. Backlink helps your site a lot in traffic building and PR.

    Backlinks can be obtained by placing your links at various free or paid directories and then posting a reciprocal link on your site ..

    the only reason for them to be mentioned here is for their traffic potential to your site. How do people feel about the importance of backlinks? something this guy should focus on or focus on other things first?

    Content first, then backlinks.

    Backlinks are absolutely critical, but without content they are pretty meaningless.
