Many business owners or marketers with a basic comprehension of search engine optimization recognize the gravity of link building to some degree. Below, we explore the true importance of backlinks from SEO. Watch Harley and Andrew discuss what backinks are, why they're important, and how you should go about earning them!
Also known as “inbound” or “incoming” links, backlinks are created when one website links to another website. For example, if a mountain climbing site (Website A) links to a blog post comparing the best hiking gear (Website B), the hiking gear website receives a vote of confidence – or backlink – from the mountain climbing site.
Backlinks are important for SEO because they signal to Google that another resource finds your content valuable enough to link to it within their own content. As a website earns additional backlinks, search engines infer that the website possesses valuable content worth ranking well on the SERPs.
While backlinks are generally desirable, not all backlinks are as valuable as others. Some are inherently more advantageous to earn – others should be avoided whenever possible.

Why? Picture all of your website visitors as a massive pie. For the average website, 50% of that pie will come from search engines like Google.
Search engines are a discovery tool, meaning that many of these website visitors are discovering your website for the first time. As more and more people discover your website from search engines, you’ll see each other traffic channel (email, social media, etc.) increase as well. In other words, as this part of your pie gets bigger, the rest of your pie will get bigger as well.

Similar to almost any other profession, you can do it yourself, but will always see the best results when you bring in experts to help. You can do your business’ taxes on your own, but choose to hire a professional because you know that they will be worth the investment.
If your business’ marketing budget is less than a few hundred dollars per month, take the DIY approach to SEO. Any “expert” charging less than a few hundred dollars per month is going to be a risky investment. They may land you in some hot water with Google.
