SEO Terminology: Obtaining backlinks from search engines

A backlink is any hyperlink from an external website linking to your website. Good quality backlinks are an important part of the search engine optimisation process.

Most commercial search engines provide a mechanism to determine the number of backlinks they have recorded to a particular web page. For example, Google can be searched using link:belovarsky.com to find the number of pages on the Web pointing to http://www.belovarsky.com. Google only shows a small fraction of the number of links pointing to a site. It credits many more backlinks than it shows for each website.

Yahoo!’s Site Explorer is a favorite method of obtaining the number of backlinks on a site, because this tool shows a larger number of the actual backlinks than any other tool.
