By Al Martins, Fence Armor, Burlington, ON

Ever wondered what Backlinks were?  And no it is not a commercial chainlink term. 🙂  In the world of SEO and the Web having a good or better Backlink ranking is very beneficial.


Basically backlinks are links from one website to another’s website page.  Search engines like Google consider backlinks like votes, the higher the number the better, giving your site a higher organic reach ranking.


With all the changes in search engine algorithms lately, somethings have stayed the same.  If your content is credible, has value and is useful, customers and search engines will find you.  But like with all things, some backlinks are more valuable than others.  If you have a backlink from trusted sites they would hold more weight than those of less value.
