What Are Backlinks and How Do They Work?

How does Google determine which website to

rank number one, two and three.

 It comes down to SEO, right?

 Well, it's more in depth than that.

 Google has over 200 factors; and the number

one factor that affects rankings is backlinks.

 Hey Guys, ImI Rohit And Today, I'm going to share you what backlinks are and how they work.
Moz SEO company interviewed tons of marketing experts, and they asked them what factors affect Google's rankings the most?
They all said backlinks.
So, with backlinks, that's one website linking
To another website.
Google's looking at it as votes.
The more links that your website has, the
higher you're gonna rank.

 In addition to that, they're looking at quality.

 So, if Huffington Post links to you, that's

way more effective than if Joe the plumber

 linked to you.

 And Google knows that it's way harder to get

a link from Huffington Post than it is to

 get a link from Joe the plumber.

 Now, another thing that they're using within

their algorithm is how related is that link?

 So, if Huffington Post links to your plumbing

website, that's actually not as effective

 compared to Joe the plumber linking to you.

 But, on the flip side, if Home Depot linked

to you, because it's very relevant and they're

 within your space, that's way more effective

than if Joe the plumber linked to you.
So, a few things.
Google is looking at how many backlinks you're getting; how many you're getting over time, because it has to be natural, they don't want
you to just go pay people to link to your

 website because they don't like that, you

shouldn't pay for links; they're looking at

 how related those websites are; and they're

looking at something called domain authority,

 that's how authoritative that website is.

 So, assume you're getting tons of backlinks,

you're getting them from related websites

 and they have high domain authority.

 A domain authority is from a scale of 0 to

100, 100 being like a Google.com, a Youtube,
a Facebook.
And it works like on a Richter scale, right?

A logarithmic scale, in which it's way easier
to go from 1 to 10, than it is to go from 10 to 20.

 So, if you can get a lot of backlinks, you

can get them from relevant sites, and you
can get them from authoritative sites that
have high domain authority, your rankings are gonna climb.

If you're wondering what domain authority
is, like what number a certain site has, you
can go to ahrefs.com, AHREFS.com,
put in a URL and they'll spit out the domain
authority.
It's a paid tool.
A free version of this is Open Site Explorer.
If you Google 'Open Site Explorer', it'll
take you to moz.com, and you can put in a
URL and it'll tell you that site's domainu athority.

 Now that you know how links work in the eyes of Google, if you want to get links the quickest way is to do round up posts.

 So, go and email every single expert within
your space.
You can email these people, include them in
their round up posts; and since you're asking
them one question and you're asking that same question to every expert within the space,
it's a great opportunity for them to get free

press, which is why they're gonna participate.
And then once they all participate, and give

you their response, write an amazing looking

 blog post showcasing all the responses, include their name, link to their website, link to their Twitter or Facebook profile.
And then from there, email each of those experts,

once you've published the post, and ask them to share it on their favorite social network.

 By doing this, your blog, your website, is
gonna get more traffic.

The more eyeballs that see your site, the

higher probability that someone's gonna link
back to your site.

As you get more backlinks, your rankings will
also climb.
