What is Backlink?
A hyperlink from another website pointing to your site. Backlinks are one of Google's strongest ranking signals because each one acts as a "vote of confidence" from another site.
Not all backlinks are equal — links from high-authority sites count for more than links from low-quality sites. Building backlinks ethically (through good content, partnerships, PR, customer mentions) is one of the slowest but most durable SEO investments.
