You did an excellent job of explaining it.

Thank you so much for the time you took to do this.

Backlinks are extremely important, especially if your niche is competitive, if your competitor has thousands of backlinks in a competitive niche, you won't get anywhere near them on on-page SEO alone

Backlinks, and backlinks to your backlinks! but its amazing how much good a few quality backlinks can do, and how little good lots of bad quality backlinks can do.

[strategic seo services]

Without backlinks, your site will never rank highly. Backlinks are what propel any website to the first page of Google. In fact, they're even more important than on page optimization factors. Check out my sig. for more information about this.

Backlinking is the cornerstone of the SEO campaign. Create them manually, avoid uising blackhat software.

[JSProjects]

Backlinks are absolutely vital. But if you're targeting the wrong keywords and your on-page SEO is bad, then backlinks alone won't help you much. So make sure you've got those two aspects right as well.

[DIGITALCHAMELEON]

The more backlinks your site has the more credible your site is.

[Peter Gehr]

Better to have fewer quality backlinks than having thousands of irrelevant backlinks from poor quality sites.

[satrap]

In my personal experience, I have found out that backlinks are more important than any other thing when it comes to seo. I say backlink is the king!

I used to believe other wise, but working with my own site and seeing how backlinks helped me more than any other thing to rank for my keywords and get traffic and now I am making real money with it.

[craigwilson]

They're one of the most important things for SEO because they're like votes for your website. My friend has tried to explain it to me before because she's an SEO at a company near Chicago, but it's kind of hard to explain for me. But she's always backlinking and writing blogs and submitting and all this stuff so it seems pretty complicated!

[Justinpage]

Yeah, backlinks are important in SEO in many ways. But don't forget on page optimization. A good combination of quality link building and proper on page SEO will be a great factor.

[seoguru0]

Of course quality back linking to relevant sites are highly important factor in SEO
