Hello,

Backlinks are incoming links to a website or web page. In the search engine optimization (SEO) world, the number of backlinks is one indication of the popularity or importance of that website or page.

Short update and practical angle on the thread: backlinks still matter, but “more” is not the goal —ly, relevance and editorial trust are. Several posts here (for example and ) correctly push quality content; ’s caution about manipulation is also well-founded because Google’s systems have become much better at detecting and nullifying unnatural link schemes. See Google’s guidance on recent link‑spam work. (developers.google.com)

How to act right now: run a backlink audit in Search Console and export the Links report, then supplement that sample with a crawler/third‑party tool to review referring domains, placement (editorial vs. widget/footer), topical relevance, and anchor‑text mix. Prioritize domains where links appear editorially and come from pages with real content and traffic — those are the ones that move the needle. Get started with Search Console. Practical link‑building notes and audits from the industry. (developers.google.com)

If you find spammy or paid links: first contact the site owner and ask for removal; if that fails, use Google’s disavow tool only as a last resort and document your removal attempts (Google warned this is an advanced option). Also use the proper rel attributes (sponsored, ugc, nofollow) for paid/UGC links rather than trying to mask them. (developers.google.com)

Short checklist to close the loop (actionable, low‑effort): 1) audit monthly via Search Console + one external tool; 2) remove/report obvious spam and keep a removal log; 3) invest in a handful of truly linkable assets (data, tools, long guides) and targeted outreach; 4) avoid buying/selling or automated “mass” links — they’re higher risk than reward. This addresses points raised by , , and while steering the conversation away from quick, low‑value tactics toward sustainable link value. (ahrefs.com)

Influencing off-site factors is search engine manipulation.

If you have good quality content on your website, you should have no problems getting genuine backlinks in return. That's what I believe.

When I see these kind of thread titles I expect to read about some individual's site. But these link droppers are making my life worse. Is it just me or everybody gets disappointed after seeing the content of the thread?

This is also one of the things that search engine spiders look for in order for them to rank your webpages. The best thing for this is through article submission, it does not only give you backlink but also enough traffic coming from it because it can also rank well in Google and Yahoo.

Back links helps your site/blog get into top rankings. But of course what counts most is the quality of back links you are getting.. Google gives more value on the quality of back links compared to those irrelevant sites that you have..

Member Avatar for yourwebgurus

I agree also... although I have found you can do a heck of alot with on site optimization including modifying the internal link structure and adding more links throughout the website itself. It helps, but I am 100% for backlinks too, and alot of them if possible!

Member Avatar for max4999

i have been using social media, Youtube and flickr, tell me how to use DIgg and Twitter for maximum advantage?

Member Avatar for shubh09

When search engines calculate the relevance of a site to a keyword, they consider the number of QUALITY inbound links to that site. So we should not be satisfied with merely getting inbound links, it is the quality of the inbound link that matters.Search engines want websites to have a level playing field, and look for natural links built slowly over time. While it is fairly easy to manipulate links on a web page to try to achieve a higher ranking, it is a lot harder to influence a search engine with external backlinks from other websites.

Member Avatar for bbriniotis

not only the amount of backlinks but also their quality (pagerank, number of outgoing links,anchor text etc)

I find posting comments in Q&A sites such as Fluther very effective in generating backlinks for my sites. Choose the ones that accept dofollow sigs.

Backlinks can dictate that a site is good because another site is pointing to it. This can be done on your own like social bookmarking and article submissions.

Also, having a press release for your site can easily start a spark of traffic going to it.
