Backlinks

Links from one website to a page on another website, serving as a 'vote of confidence' for search engines.

Backlinks (also known as “inbound links”) are one of the most important ranking factors in SEO. They tell search engines that your content is valuable enough for others to link to.

Why They Are Critical

  • Authority: High-quality backlinks from reputable sites boost your “Domain Authority.”
  • Ranking: Sites with a strong backlink profile generally rank higher in search results.
  • Referral Traffic: They bring in direct visitors from other sources.
