Why use a backlink checker?
Backlinks contribute up to 50% of your SEO juice. What are they? Each is an inbound backlink to your website from another site. Other websites link to you to endorse or share your content. Google views this positively as an indication of your popularity and worth. More backlinks mean you get indexed higher by Google.
How backlinks get rated
Google doesn’t take a blanket backlink approach. It prioritises backlinks it sees as high quality. These are backlinks to your site from others that are clearly in a related niche, share keyword topics, or are themselves popular sites. So it’s worth seeking each strong backlink out: by creating strong content or by developing relationships and reaching out to relevant websites for a do-follow link. Winning backlinks from highly-trusted domains can lead to a hefty boost to your own authority or TrustRank. If you have backlinks from universities, professional organizations, government websites, and non-profit organizations, each backlink will push your site up the rankings.
