Backlink
Backlinks are incoming links to a website or web page. The number of
backlinks is an indication of the popularity or importance of that
website or page. In basic link terminology, a backlink is any link
received by a web node (web page, directory, website, or top level
domain) from another web node (Bj�rneborn and Ingwersen, 2004).
Backlinks are also called incoming links, inbound links, inlinks,
and inward links.
Search engines often use the number of backlinks that a website has
as one of the factors for determining that website's search engine
ranking. For example, Google's PageRank algorithm uses backlinks to
help determine a site's rank. To see a site's PageRank, you need to
use the Google Toolbar for Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Mozilla
Firefox, view the bar graph indicating a website's PageRank in
Google's website directory, or download the PageRank plugin for
Mozilla Firefox.
