Backlinks are known as Inbound links, Incoming links, Inward links, Inlinks. Any link received by a Web Node such as website, directory or any top level domain, from another Web Node is said to be a Backlink in basic link terminology. Backlinks are incoming links to a website or web page. Let’s rephrase a bit. It’s an inward link to your site that might or might not be shared or reciprocated with an outward link back. Let’s say there are two websites - one is sample1.com and the other is sample2.com. If a page on sample1.com contains the link of sample2.com, then the Backlink would be a link of sample1.com in a page of sample2.com.

Your site could act as a backlink to another site also. For example, you have a site let’s say mysite.com. You found an interesting article/topic discussed on a site sample.com. You want that article that you think your site visitor might be interested in, to be displayed on your site. So, you put a link of that article page of sample.com to your website mysite.com. Now mysite.com acts as a backlink to the article url on sample.com, the article’s original location.
