What is linking or backlinking?

So you want to know what linking or backlinking is?

Backlinks are links pointing in to your site. So another site somewhere has linked to your site.

The converse of this is linking, linking out to other sites.

Backlinks can drive direct traffic from the sites linking to you. It also helps improve your search engine rankings. The more backlinks you have, the more trust your site will get.

This is a very very broad definition. Try running some google searches for the benefits of backlinks and youll find atonne of info.

Hope this helps
