What exactly are backlinks?
External links that point to your blog is a backlink. Higher the number of backlinks, higher the chances for search engines considering your posts as more relevant. This results in the higher ranking of your site. Popular search engines like Google uses a formula known as Page Rank. Having more backlink shows that your post is much more important and useful.

What are Quality Backlinks?
Just having backlinks from a low-quality website which didn’t even seems nearer to your website niche is not going to help you. Even if you have hundreds of such low-quality backlinks it would not help you in ranking higher. Quality Backlinks are the links from a quality website. Quality is important than quantity, so give importance for quality.
