In digital marketing, a backlink is an inbound link to your website or blog from another site. Backlinks are an important ranking factor for search engines like Google and can also help increase the visibility of your site.

There are two types of backlinks: dofollow and nofollow.

DOFOLLOW:

When it comes to building links, one important factor that you need to consider is the quality of the links. A dofollow link is a type of link that helps pass along link juice, or authority, from one site to another. This can be beneficial for both SEO and website traffic. In order to get the most benefit from dofollow links, it's important to make sure that you're getting links from high-quality websites. One way to do this is to look for websites that have a high PageRank. You can also check out the link profile of a website to see how many other high-quality websites are linking to it.

NOFOLLOW:

Nofollow links don't pass along link juice, but they can still be valuable for driving traffic to your site. For example, if you have a blog and you include a nofollow link to another blog in one of your posts, that other blog may include a link back to your blog in one of their posts, which can help drive traffic to your site. Nofollow links can also be valuable if you're trying to rank for certain keywords. If you have a blog post that's ranking for a keyword, and you include a nofollow link to another blog in that post, Google may still consider that link when determining where to rank your post. So, while nofollow links don't directly help your ranking, they can still indirectly impact it.

Simply put, a backlink, also known as an external backlink, is when another site links to your website somewhere in their content. This could be on a blog post, a service page, or on any other page on a website.

When another site links to you, it's considered a "vote" of confidence in your site and can help improve your site's SEO. Additionally, backlinks are one of the main ways that Google determines a website's authority and ranks them in search engine results pages (SERPs).

Therefore, it's important to make sure you have a good mix of high-quality backlinks from reputable websites if you want to rank higher in Google. One great way to do this is by publishing high-quality content on your site that other sites will want to link to.
