What Are Backlinks?
A backlink is when another website links to yours. Google sees each link as a vote of confidence — the more quality votes you have from trusted sites, the higher you rank.
Another Website
A blog, news site, or industry publication
They link to your site
Your Website
Receives authority & trust
Think of it like a recommendation: If the New York Times links to your plumbing website, Google thinks "If NYT trusts them, they must be legit." That trust boosts your rankings.
