Backlinks are still incredibly important in helping a website rank within the search engines. They are essentially a vote of trust, from one website to another.

Ok, lets say website A links to website B and this link is a Do-Follow link (it tells google, I like this website and I want you to know that I approve of it). Website A essentially passes “link equity” to website B, which will ultimately help website B rank better within the search engine results… assuming that website A is reputable and trustworthy, otherwise, it may hurt website B’s rankings.

Therefore, it’s vital that SEO backlinking is done by a professional, as low-quality backlinks can be detrimental to a website’s overall rankings within the search engine.
