What is a backlink?

A backlink, also called back linkA referral is simply a link on another site that points to your blog. In other words, it's like a recommendation. When other sites talk about your content and link to it, it tells Google that your content is worth promoting.

I've learned that the more quality links you get, the more credibility your blog gains. And on Blogger, this is even truer, as these blogs are often perceived as beginners or amateurs. With solid backlinks, you show that you're playing in the big league.
