What are backlinks and why are they important for SEO? How do you check them and how do you get more of them? You’ll find out in this tutorial.

Additional Link Building Resources

***************************************
Backlinks are links from a page on one website to another.

If you’re on the receiving end, you can refer to them as incoming links or inbound links. If you’re linking to others, it’s called an external, outgoing or outbound link.

Why are backlinks important? There are three main reasons, and you’ll learn what those reasons are in the video.

The easiest way to conceptualize backlinks is to think of them as votes. When a page receives a backlink, it’s essentially another website vouching for the content on the page. And the more “votes,” you get from credible sources, the higher the trust.

But not all backlinks are created equal.

How do you tell a “good quality backlink” from a “not-so-good” one? You’ll learn how in the video.

And now that you’ve learned how to tell the difference between high and low-quality backlinks, you’ll want to check backlinks pointing at your own site.

We’ll show you the two places you can do this for free.

And finally, how do you get backlinks?

On the whole, there are three main methods to getting backlinks. You’ll learn what they are in the video.

Is it possible for a tech blogger to sustain in SEO. Since you the article you post today will not be searched by anyone in few days. E.g smartphone review. Also the high authoritative websites are dominating in every keywords.

Hey there, great SEO video as always.

I‘ve got a question: How does this apply to YouTube only?

In your video you talked about search engines but is it mostly relevant to google or YouTube as well?

If so, should i backlink individual videos or my whole channel link?

Thanks

Ah ha! So that's what those external sites I see in analytics are! Thank you for these research tips and ideas for actions to take!

Great presentation. No bullshit, straight to the point. Just one question. How can some relatively small websites manage to get hundreds of thousands of backlinks? It would be impossible to build them manually. Do they buy them or what? Also, I see a tendency in websites that have thousands of backlinks that for every backlink, they get 1 visitor. So if a site has 500k backlinks, their monthly organic traffic is also somewhere in that area. Might be more than 500k, might be less. Does it mean they use really crap backlinks if every backlink generates only 1 visitor per month?

Thanks for sharing this video! Very informative. Though I've a question, when you quoted Google patent on the backlink quality, does it means Google's algorithm only care about PageRank (which is defined as URL rating for Ahrefs), instead of Domain rating?

Hey, thanks for detailed video. When I look at the top 5 pages on your free backlink checker I see that 3 of them are archives and no longer active links. What does this mean?

Hey Sam I wanna know something,
I have been blogging for about 1 year and I have found that some of the websites in my niche is ranking for more keywords that are missing from their blog and Google shows them as "missing terms" in the SERP.
I want to know is there a way of achieving this or it's just by luck.
Looking forward to hear from you via reply or it will be best if you make a video on the same topic :)
