Google collects data from its own search engine and also through Google Analytics.
Why bother counting backlinks if google already knows which sites are popular?.

    First of all its non-sense. Google doesn't gather data from analytics.

      Google's information-gathering channels

      Google's stated mission is "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful" and it is making good on this promise. However, Google is gathering even more information than most of us realize.

      Searches (web, images, news, blogs, etc.) - Google is, as you all know, the most popular search engine in the world with a market share of almost 70% (for example, 66% of searches in the US are made on Google). Google tracks all searches, and now with search becoming more and more personalized, this information is bound to grow increasingly detailed and user specific.

      Clicks on search results - Not only does Google get information on what we search for, it also gets to find out which search results we click on.

      Web crawling - Googlebot, Google's web crawler, is a busy bee, continuously reading and indexing billions of web pages.

      Website analytics - Google Analytics is by far the most popular website analytics package out there. Due to being free and still supporting a number of advanced features, it's used by a large percentage of the world's websites.

      Right, Google creates the data from Google Analytics.

    Backlinks are indeed effective for SEO and page ranking. Most of the Search Engines spiders, mainly Google gives a lot of value to the number of inbound links. Spiders consider site more reliable than others on the basis of the number of quality inbound links it has.

      Hi Breezehost,
      I think you mean that inbound link is better than SEO backlink. If you right, that's why we are going to wrong way. Nice to meet you.

    Backlinks are the hyperlinks that point back to your website from another online resource. Yes, they are effective but not all certain kind of backlinks, because quality link building is not easy , if its done improperly then it can result in penalty also.

    They are indeed.

    Backlinks, when created of high quality, will increase your website's authority. Which in-fact can help you rank for keywords with moderate to high difficulty.

    Big companies like ahrefs or moz would shut down if it weren't for backlinks.

    To clear your misconception, in SEO, popularity comes with authority and not traffic (unless it's 90% organic).

    Because links are the #1 ranking factor in their algorithm. Always have been. A site doesn't just become popular in the search engine. Without links, there would be no search traffic.

    No, they did not. They still use PageRank every single day.

      Wrong.

      It's more like whoever has the strongest authority votes wins.

      One good followed link can trump 1,000s of weak links, even If they're followed.

        I know a quality backlink is better than 1000 low-quality backlink. but how a backlink increased traffic on my website. I want a quality backlink that creates some natural backlink, how is it possible?

          But in my point of view google crawl, only natural link means some one create a backlink on your backlink. What do you think about this?

    Back links are very important. It tells the search engine that your site is good if you have back links from good DA websites. This will in return increase your websites ranking.

      Google doesn't need any da pa website. google crawl your natural backlink. It is not important if you create a backlink on another website (authoritative website ). Google crawl your natural backlink means your backlink create some more backlink. some one creates a backlink on your backlink. this way google to crawl your link and your backlink easily popular and improve your ranking.

      Every one makes or creates a backlink after that the result is made a spammy link but no one go to natural backlink that's why I'm asking you a question?
