How Backlinks Work

Backlinks play an vital role in any search engine algorithm

Now I explain you with example

For example, A is a blogger, and he writes an interesting article about digital marketing.


Another blogger, B, gives a link to A's article expressing his point of view. As B writes about this topic on her popular online digital marketing strategy site, it forms a backlink to A's post.


Since digital marketing strategy is popular, many other sites will link to its content. This adds to the digital marketing authority, and A's article also gets a valuable backlink from a reputable site.

If multiple sites link to the same webpage or website, search engines will be able to determine if the content is capable of linking.
