Can anyone explain back links to me

[NY Jester]

I've been seeing and hearing about back links for a while now, but not really sure what they are and more so what they are used for. Anyone shed any light on them? Thanks

Back links are when a site links to your site via anchor text and your url. In a nutt shell it's used to give your site se relevance.

The more quality oneway back links to your site, the more preference your site is given in the rankings.

Thank you for clarifying nekrom. I thought that's what they were but wanted to know for sure.

I'm pretty sure that's why niche recips were invented... is that correct?

Niche recips aren't one way links. SE's started to "penalize" all these A-B-A trades a couple of years ago. Don't know why I still use them to be honest :)

Agreed Fonz, ABC trades are where it is at imho.

It's curious but it works for me. My sites went up to PR2 yet I only have A-B trades for the most. I must have only one or two A-B-C trades.

think of them as a vote for your site with the search engines.

backlinks are soooo important. :)

Backlinks are votes to your site. The more the better!

that's pretty funny.


side note, or back on topic note, - don't buy back links from shady people.
More is Better is not true. More real is better, more purchased is bad

Niche recips are used to target the traffic better. Makes for better sales.

So far, that is my favorite reply in this thread. It's hard to find that kind generosity. I certainly hope that Jester comes back to thank him.
