Backlinks are incoming links to a website or web page. In basic link terminology, a backlink is any link received by a web node (web page, directory, website or top-level domain) from another web node.
Inbound links were originally important (before the advent of search engines) as the basis of web navigation; today, the importance lies in ranking from Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
The number of backlinks is an indication of the popularity or importance of a website or page (for example, it is used by Google to determine the PageRank of a web page). Outside of SEO, web page backlinks may be of significant personal, cultural or semantic importance: they indicate who is paying attention to that page.
Understanding Backlinks in a Simple way:
- Backlinks are incoming links to a website or web page in the basic terminology of links.
- Backlinks are any links received by a web node (web page, directory, website or top level domain) from another web node.
- Backlinks are links that point to your site. Both active and inactive.
For example, you have an image that you made yourself on your blog or website, then you put that image on your blog. Then there are other bloggers who deliberately take the picture you made. And he posted it on his blog to appreciate you, the blogger includes an active link in the form of an image source that directs you to your site.
