How to Use a Backlink Checker
Who’s linking to your website? You can’t do SEO without backlinks, and you can’t build backlinks blind. Let’s talk about how to use a backlink checker to find opportunities.
Link Building is incredibly important for the SEO rankings of your website on search engines. Link building is the “popular vote” of the ranking algorithms, the more votes you get, the more Google can tell how popular you are. Each backlink you obtain is like another person putting your name in the voting box, the more votes, the more likely you are to win the ranking!
Link building can be a very arduous process, which is why when done properly you can quickly outrank your competitors. Link building is also the most scrutinized part of the ranking algorithm as it has a very messy past.
When link building was first added to the ranking algorithms, black-hat SEO techniques manipulated link building and created huge networks that tricked the algorithms into ranking sites that were not actually popular. This caused backlinks to get a bad wrap, forcing Google to introduce penalties for those participating in the trickery.
When done properly, via link outreach or just by creating valuable sharable content, link building is possibly the biggest differentiator in a successful SEO campaign.
