SEO
Backlink
The short answer
A backlink is a link from another website pointing to yours — one of the strongest signals search engines use to judge how trustworthy and authoritative a site is.
Full explanation
Not all backlinks are equal: a link from a well-known, relevant site in your industry carries far more weight than dozens of links from low-quality directories. Quality and relevance matter more than raw quantity.
