What are backlinks? They are links that point to your central hub, site/blog. It you have a lot of links that point, then the search engines will find you and rate you accordingly by showing your content closer to the first search pages. There are two kinds of backlinks.

One-way links go only in one direction such as a link that leaves your site to another site or comes from another site to yours.

A reciprocal backlink goes both ways, to and from the site pointed to.

Reciprocal backlinks are considered not as valuable as one-way links because they are easy to get which is not true of one-way links.
