Quick answer
A backlink is a link from another website to yours.
What it means
A backlink is a link from another website to yours. In normal terms, it is one small part of how Google and people understand your site.
Why it matters
Google treats good backlinks as signs of trust. A link from a relevant local paper or trade site is worth far more than hundreds of junk directory links.
What to do about it
Earn links by being useful: publish helpful pages, get listed by real partners, ask suppliers, local groups and press to link when they mention you.
Bloom's take
Bloom focuses on useful link opportunities, not spammy schemes that look good for a month and hurt later.
