What is a backlink?
The backlink, also known as an “inbound link” or “external link”, refers to a hyperlink placed on a page of an external website pointing to a page on your website. Concretely, this means that a web page has a clickable link that takes Internet users directly to your site. You may also hear of “new linking” which is the technical word for a strategy for creating inbound links to a site. The opposite of “inbound link” is “outbound link”. It is an external link that is positioned on your site and that directs the user to another website. The links between the pages of your site are internal links. Thanks to them, you allow the user to consult a page on a specific subject without leaving your site. The creation of links between your pages is called internal linking.
