What Are Backlinks in SEO
Backlinks are links from some other websites to your content.
Here it is important to note that someone else should link back to your site.
If in case you’re linking back to any other website (in your content) then it will generate a backlink for his site, not yours.
This entire process is known as ‘Backlinking’ and ‘Link Building‘.
How important are backlinks for SEO
The importance of backlinks has increased significantly in the last few years.
What was once a “nice to have” has now become an integral part of any successful SEO campaign.
This is because backlink is one of the strongest ranking signals in the Google Search Engine algorithm.
If you generate more quality backlinks then chances are higher that your content will rank higher in the search results.
So, if you want to rank higher in the search engine then you can’t simply overlook the Backlinks in your SEO Strategy.
Two Types of Backlinks (dofollow vs nofollow links)
At a macro level, there are only two types of backlinks available online. These are:-
- Do-follow Links and
- No-follow Links
The difference between do-follow and no-follow links is that do-follow backlinks pass link juice (also known as PageRank signals) whereas no-follow backlinks do not.
In simple words, Do-follow links tell the Search Engine algorithms to follow them. However, no-follow links tell search engines to ignore them.
Free SEO Backlink Checker Tools
There is no shortage of tools purposely built to check backlinks online. However, they’re limited to a few backlinks only.
The free version will allow you to check only a few limited numbers of backlinks online. You need to subscribe to its paid subscription to check the entire portfolio.
Considering this limitation, I have personally identified three top SEO backlink checker tools available online. These are as follows:-
- Google Webmaster:- Google Webmaster is the best place to check your entire backlinks portfolio. Simply log in to your Google Webmaster account and select the ‘Links’ option from the left menu.
- Ahref Webmaster:- If you’re looking for an alternative to the Google Search Webmaster (Console) account, your search should end here. Ahref Webmaster account is the best and free place to check your backlinks online.
- SEO SpyGlass:- What if you want to check the backlinks of your competitors? In such a case, Ahref and Google Webmaster accounts will not work. But, don’t worry. Link Assitant (SEO SpyGlass) has a solution to your problem. It will allow you to check almost all backlinks available online.
