    Don't you think ranking is really important? We will get maximum visits if we are on the top.

    Backlinks is nothing but the links that your website gets from outside webpages. So they got really a fair amount of benefits as more number of outer page links present in your site enable your site to get popular.

    Google calculate the Page rank of your website by counting each incoming link (backlinks) to your site as vote.

    There have no alternative of traffic which can make your online business live. And organic visitors are most potential for doing business. Backlinking provide organic visitor to your site.

    Backlinks from High Page Rank sites helps your website to gain a better page rank and rank higher in the search engines. You can also get referral traffic from all your backlinks scattered throughout the internet. Bottom line, try not to get any backlinks and see how well your website does in the search engines.

    The number of backlinks to your website indicates the popularity of your website. Google uses the number of Backlinks as an important criterion to rank a page. Hence, the more number of backlinks a website has, more are the chances for it to be ranked high.

    Web masters use lot of techniques to get more backlinks. One technique is to include your website link as a signature in blogs and forums. To increase the number of backlinks, you may pay a website owner to create links to your page. But getting quality backlinks is important and this can be achieved if your website has quality content.

    Writing quality content on your webpage would be the best way to get more number of quality backlinks because if the readers like your content, they will automatically create links to your web page. Such backlinks are known as Natural backlinks which are more essential to get your webpage ranked higher.

    Just to clear things up a bit:
    Google uses "Backlinks" (links from other sites/domains to your site/domain) to rank your site in their results page. Google's goal is to rank your page higher if more people find your site useful and create links to it. Google never intended for link directories to appear and I'm betting they eventually fix the algorithms so that it is harder for people to abuse the system (just like how they stopped using the meta keyword tag because people abused it).

    So if more people link to your site, Google will rank your site higher. This then means that more people can find your site (they will be able to search broader terms and still find your site... how often do you go to page 4 of the results?)

    The question then is not how do I get more backlinks, it is how do I get people interested in my site and keep them interested so they come back multiple times and eventually link to my site. The answer is fresh, quality content written for humans that is relevant to the topic your want to address and your audience. If you update your content and a return visitor likes the new content, maybe they will come back later and maybe they will eventually link to your site.

    Google then actually goes and ranks your site higher because you took actions to make your site more friendly to your audience. Google checks how often you update your content, how much content on your site is relevant to the site descriptions and titles and ranks you higher. While no one really knows what ranks you up faster, I'm betting they also take into consideration amount of unique and return visitors over time and your bounce rate (percentage of people who come to your site and leave without looking at more content... Google thinks they didn't find what they were looking for.)

    So to answer your question after clearing things up... If we have a higher Google page rank, our site will be found easier and we can reach a larger audience

    It greatly effects SERP. Let's give a real-life example for that. :)

    Let's say that you are about to buy a certain product, let it be a hard disk drive and you need something with "certain props(which will be the search query)" as in your mind. But there are a few different brands such as Seagate, Samsung, Maxtor, WD. So to choose a brands product, you need others' opinions(which will be the backlinks). Now let's think that you asked some people, and gathered a list of their opinions. Now there is a list like this in your hands, your priority made of others' opinions(which is being the SERP):

    1 - Seagate: 15 people recommended it.
    2 - WD: 10 people recommended it.
    3 - Samsung: 8 people recommended it.

    And there was no one telling a thing about Maxtor(aw, it's forgotten). And which is why, it will be at the bottom of your list, right after the ones with recommended brands.

    So, what is "pagerank" then anyways? Well, it's name tells the everything, actually. It's a rank for each of a page, you can think of this a popularity of the page. Let's also give an example to that.

    There's an artist that people loves so much, it's popular(PR). And he/she takes a duet with someone else after sometime(PR backlink), it becomes popular as well. Then that other artist makes a solo album, it's not as popular as the one he/she had the duet with but it becomes popular, too, and fast. Because he/she got known from that duet(and which is how PR is passed on when backlinks are given).

    Back link is directly proportional to rank of your website means higher back links higher rank of website so its very necessary for a website that he contain more back links with high quality.
