What are SEO backlinks?
Backlinks are a main part of the off page strategy and refer to the creation of referring links from other websites that point to another site. The quality of backlinks can significantly influence a website’s authority, improve rankings performance and organic visibility. The backlinks quantity have a strong impact as well, as an old site with a high number of links, might gain a strong authority. However, prioritizing quality over quantity is a good practice in backlinks consideration.
Search engines, such as Google, consider backlinks as indicators of the content’s relevance, usefulness, and trustworthiness. Websites with a higher number of quality backlinks tend to have a higher chance of ranking well in search engine results.

Understanding Backlinks
Before we delve into the strategies, it’s essential to understand the types of backlinks and how they influence your site’s SEO performance.
1. Dofollow vs. Nofollow Backlinks
Dofollow backlinks are the standard type of backlinks that search engines follow, allowing link juice to flow from the referring site to your site. On the other hand, nofollow backlinks include an attribute that tells search engines not to pass on any SEO value. While both types can be valuable for referral traffic, dofollow backlinks have a more significant impact on SEO.
2. High-Quality vs. Low-Quality Backlinks
High-quality backlinks come from authoritative and relevant websites, while low-quality backlinks may originate from spammy or irrelevant sources. The quality of backlinks matters more than the quantity, as search engines value links from reputable sites.
On-Page SEO vs. Off-Page SEO
On-page SEO and off-page SEO are two essential components of a comprehensive search engine optimization strategy. Here’s a comparison between the two:
On-Page SEO
- Focuses on optimizing elements within your website, such as content, title tags, URLs, headings, SEO-optimized hosting, and internal linking.
- Involves keyword research and page optimization to align your website’s content with user search queries.
- Aims to improve your web pages’ user experience, readability, and relevancy.
- Helps search engines understand the context and purpose of your website’s content.
Off-Page SEO
- Concentrate on activities outside your website to boost its visibility and authority.
- Includes link building, social media marketing, content marketing, influencer outreach, online reputation management, and brand promotion.
- Enhances your website’s credibility and popularity by acquiring high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
- Supports brand awareness, expands your online reach, and attracts a larger audience to your website.
Balancing on-page and off-page SEO techniques is crucial for a successful SEO strategy. Think of them as two sides of the same coin.
While on-page SEO ensures your website is optimized for search engines and users, off-page SEO helps establish your website’s authority, reputation, and visibility across the web.
6 factors that influence link value for off-page SEO
You also want to think about the equity or value and authority passed by a link.
While you could attract dozens of low-value links from spammy or untrustworthy websites, they won’t help your business rank well in search results. That’s why it’s essential to focus your off-page SEO link building efforts on trusted websites with excellent link equity.
The six factors that influence the equity passed by a link include:
- The anchor text used to link to your site
- The freshness or age of the link to your site
- The number of links on the linking page
- The relation between the linking site’s subject matter and yours
- The trustworthiness of the linking site
- The authority of the linking site and the linking page
If you use tools like Ahrefs and Semrush, you can assess the potential link value of a site.
