Backlinks are quality link backs that come from an external site back to your site. Any type of links recieved from advertising are not backlinks for they have no impact on the rank of your site but they only influence your traffic or sales.
Link building has been the backbone of search engines since the early days of Google and even today linking has been the most ranking factor of search engines.
Types of possible backlinks
Backlinks are not always good but there are also bad backlinks that will result to your site being ranked very low in search engines, lets us go through this type of links so that you may understand them better
Good links are links that come from authority sites in your field, recieving links from these sites can really improve your alexa rank and also get you some active readers.
Badlinks are links that are comming from niche unrelated sites linking back to your site and they too can increase your alexa rank or just have no effect at all but to be honest it is not easy to get loyal readers from these sites.
Ugly backlinks are link backs that come from spammy sites, link farms and all link buying sites and getting links from these sites can give your site a very bad reputation.
