What is Backlinks?

Backlinks are links pointing to your website. The number of backlinks pointing to your site indicates how popular your website is. I cannot stress how important enough, backlinks are to Google Search Engine Optimization. Google ranks popular websites highly in its search results, those having a high number of quality backlinks pointing to them. Websites with higher number of QUALITY backlinks, will rank higher in search results than their competitive websites.

Search Engines (mainly Google) compute the relevance of a website to a specific keyword, by the number of QUALITY websites backlinking to the website. Hence, having quality backlinks is more valuable than having hundreds of non-relevant less quality backlinks.

Explaining Anchor Text

An effective way to get RELEVANT quality backlinks to your website is using ‘anchor text’. Anchor text is the text contained in the text of the hyper link which links to your site. For example if your website is about ‘crazy dogs’, the HTML format of the backlink will be:

Crazy Dogs

‘Crazy Dogs’ in the last example is called anchor text, which is relevant to the content of your website. Therefore, this is called quality anchor text. Hence it is always better to use a keyword (anchor text) instead of ‘click here’.

You can also use ‘Visit us to find more about crazy dogs’ as an anchor text. To find the sites backlinking to your website and what text is being used to link to your website, you can use this free tool backlinkcheck.
