Backlinks are links arranged in a text that direct the reader to another site that has content related to what he is reading; they also allow the reader to expand his knowledge, and at the same time generate quality traffic and achieve seo positioning.

The more people refer to a blog or web page on different topics, the Backlinks will have more authority and growth. They show the search engines that a particular site has, thus generating more relevance for users.

Dofollow Links

Dofollow allows all links added to your blog or website to function as valid Backlinks. Unlike nofollow links.

Internal Links

They are links that go from one page to another within the same domain. Internal links allow you to connect your own pages, keeping the reader on the blog longer.

Finally now that you know what Backlinks are, you can consider that it’s the quality of links that counts, not the quantity alone. The time has come to implement the growth of your blog and website when it comes to SEO positioning.
