Now without further delay, I will tell you about backlinks. So then let us know what backlinks are and why they are important for your blog/website

What is Backlink?

If we try to understand in simple words, what is a Backlink, then Backlinks are those links which go from one website to another website. For example, if I add the link of your site to any of my posts or to my blog, then your site gets a backlink.

What is the benefit of backlinks in SEO?

Backlinks are very beneficial for your blog. The more backlinks your site has, the more value Google gives to your site in search results. But Google values your blog only when your blog has backlinks from quality (good) sites.

There are many other benefits of backlinks such as search engines start indexing your site quickly , your site gets referral traffic, the authority of your site increases.

What is Quality Backlink?

Quality Backlinks are those which you get from quality sites. Like HindimeHelp is a quality site and if you get a backlink from Hindimehelp then Google gives more value to your site and gives your blog a higher ranking in search results.

To create quality backlinks, you also have to pay a lot of attention to relevance, which means if your blog is related to technology, then you will have to get backlinks from other technology-related blogs only. Instead, if you get backlinks from a food blog, then Google does not give much value to such backlinks.

Information on how to make quality backlinks

The better the quality of the site, the worse the backlink is, and here is the information about what a bad backlink is .

How many types of backlinks are there?

There are two types of backlinks-

Dofollow Backlink
Nofollow Backlink

DoFollow Backlink :

Do-Follow backlinks help in passing link juice, that is, such links are very helpful in increasing the ranking of your blog. Example of Dofollow links:

“<a href=”http://www.google.com/”>Google</a>”

“<a href=”http://www.google.com/” rel=”do-follow”>Google</a>”

By default all links are Do-Follow, but if you want that the link you are giving to other sites should not pass link juice then you can add No-Follow attribute to the link.

NoFollow Backlink :

These are those backlinks which do not allow passing of the link, their value in the search engine is less than do-follow links. No-Follow links have no role in Search Engine Ranking. Example of No-Follow backlink:

“<a href=”http://www.google.com/” rel=”no-follow”>Google</a>”

So if you ever get a chance to add a link to such a site on your site which has something wrong on it, then you can no-follow it.
