For those who have no clue what a backlink is all about, here’s a brief description.
What is a backlink? And Why does Google pay so much attention to Backlinks?
Just as friends are important to your authority (influence) on Facebook, and followers are important to your authority on Twitter, Backlinks are important to your website’s authority within search engines. Backlinks are inbound links originating outside of your website to pages within your website. However, not all Backlinks are created equal; Google et al value Backlinks differently based on how they are achieved and the source of the link itself. You can buy your Backlinks. You can register your URL on thousands of Directory sites … this will create Backlinks but it will score few points with the search engines as they are not highly valued. The most highly valued Backlinks are driven by great content that is adopted or linked to by high value websites. High value websites include those websites that have high Google PageRank (PR).
