Backlinks is a crucial component in SEO

What are backlinks?

Backlinks (aka “backlinks”, “back-links”, “links”, “inbound links”, etc.) are hyperlinks that point to your website but come from other websites.

When a Website A hyperlinks to Website B, you can say that Website B just acquired a “backlink” from Website A. Simple enough, right?

Why Are Backlinks Important?

Search engines (especially Google) use backlinks as a ranking factor. Backlinks are analogous to “votes”, “referrals”, a “vouch” or “recommendation” about your website and its content.

Very similar real life, when multiple people recommend a movie, or restaurant, or music artist, you tend to become interested & develop a sense of trust for that thing. Google works the same way.

The more (quality + relevant) backlinks your website acquires, the higher your content & keywords will rank, and the more relevant traffic will come to your website. It’s awesome.
