If you are a new website owner or novice designer, you will quickly become overwhelmed with a large number of acronyms and web terminology that your head will begin to spin. You may even wonder what you have gotten yourself into. The most important thing you need to know is the rule of “build it and they will come” does not apply to the internet. With literally billions of webpages available, yours will not be noticed unless you understand how to get your site noticed. A valuable term that you need to understand is backlinks. These are links that point to your website.
The importance of these cannot be overstated. Originally, there were link exchanges where various website owners would join up and share links with each other hoping to generate a significant amount of traffic. As technology improved, code was developed that would handle this automatically. Content management systems often include code that tracks and provides backlinks automatically. If you have heard of page ranking with a search engine then you are more familiar with these links than you know. The search engines use quality links from one site to another to judge the importance and page rank of a site.
While the search engines change their algorithms on a regular basis to accommodate for scamming, the fact remains, the main way for them to know what sites are important is based on backlinks. If you write a blog, you probably read blogs and stories on other sites as well. If you decide that a story you read is high quality and want your audience to see it, you create a link from your blog to theirs. This is called a backlink. The search engines notice this link from your blog and probably from many others and realizes the importance of this particular posting is higher than others are.
Even though the formulas for web page ranking will change on a constant basis, if no one links to your site, you will be ranked lower regardless of how high the quality is. The majority of people find websites through search engines, not advertising. Developing these backlinks with other sites is hugely important in order for your site to foster.
