Backlinks are nothing but the incoming links to a webpage. When a page links to any other page, its called a backlink. A page with a lot of backlinks tended to rank higher on all major search engines, including Google.
Below are common terms related to backlinks that you should know:
1. Link Juice:
When a webpage links to any of your articles or your
website’s homepage, it passes “link juice”.
2. No-Follow Link:
When a website links to another website, but the link
has a no-follow tag, that link does not pass link juice.
3. Do-follow Link:
By default, all the links that you add into a blog post
are do-follow links and these pass link juice.
4. Linking root domains:
Linking root domains means the number of backlinks
coming into your website from a unique domain.
5. Low-quality links:
Low-quality links are links that come from automates
sites, spam sites, porn sites. These links do far more
harm than good.
6. Internal Links:
Links that are going from one page to another within
the same domain are called internal links.
7. Anchor Text:
Text that is used with hyperlinks is called "Anchor
text". It works great when you are trying to rank for
particular keywords.
Thus, Backlinks help in getting better search engine
rankings.
