Backlink
A backlink is linked text on a website that sends the user to another website. You’ll often see sources cited in articles via backlinks to another source.
Backlinks are extremely important for website authority, because you are aligning yourself with related websites and sources within your industry. It’s just as important to work toward obtaining links from other sites to yours, which signals to search engines that your website is useful and trustworthy. Many strategies exist for maximizing a site’s backlink profile.
