///DEFINITION
What is Backlink?
A backlink is a link from one website to another, treated by search engines as a vote of confidence that influences rankings.
Backlinks from authoritative, topically relevant sites carry the most weight. Quality matters far more than quantity, one link from a respected industry site beats hundreds from low-quality directories.
Earning backlinks happens through original research, useful tools, and content worth citing. AI engines also use backlink-like authority signals when deciding which sources to trust and cite.
