How Do Backlinks Help SEO?

On of the most important factors of SEO optimization is the quantity and quality of backlinks, or links directed toward your site. They indicate the popularity, importance and relevance of your site so important to search engine ranking. They are also known as “inbound links”.

A quality backlink to a search engine algorithm is one where the theme or content of the backlinking website is the same or similar. It is also of higher value if the backlink links to your website with the keyword or phrase you want to optimize for. Quality backlinks also draw visitors to your website without going through search engines.

Irrelevant links are generally ignored and “link farming”, i.e. deceptive links, can get your site banned entirely so it pays to be careful with the practice. It is also important to only share reciprocal links with trustworthy sites. Choose only relevant sites that do not have hundreds of outbound links on their page.
