What is a backlink?

03/08/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

A backlink is a hyperlink that points to your own website from another website. Backlinks are also known as "incoming links", "backlinks" or "inbound links" and play an important role in search engine optimization (SEO).

Backlinks can be viewed as recommendations or referrals from another website to your own website. If a search engine finds a lot of relevant backlinks to a certain website, it takes this as a positive signal and classifies this website as higher quality and more trustworthy. This can result in the website being listed higher in search results and thus receiving more traffic.

However, it is important to note that not all backlinks are created equal. The quality and relevance of the linking website as well as the use of the backlink can influence the effects on search engine optimization. For example, backlinks from high-quality websites with similar topics and content may be considered more valuable than backlinks from inferior or irrelevant websites.

It's also important that backlinks arise naturally and not as part of unethical or manipulative practices such as buying links or creating an unnatural number of links in a short period of time. In such cases, the search engine can penalize the website and lower its ranking in the search results.
