Incoming or inbound link or in simple a backlink ,is created when a website inserts a link on one of its pages to another website’s page.
Backlinks are links on any website that lead back to your website.It is considered as a sign of quality or value addition when your website is linked to another site for so many reasons like the same niche.
The fact is that why do we create backlinks or do they really add value to our websites ?
Another question that first arises in our mind is “Are inbound links” or “incoming links (Backlinks) are important to SEO?

A DO-FOLLOW link looks like in the code:

<a href=”https://www.example.com”>rel=”nofollow”>
