Backlinks Factors. What are they?

[webika]

After reading so many posts about backlinks and etc, its just unclear what is backlink.

On Google website I found that a command link: as they saying is not working anymore.

Why than some websites connected to another and if the website have 100 pages , than there should be 100 backlinks and Google count this as 1 backlink because of the IP or what?

Another scenario some of the websites that i researched have backlinks to them self and Google is not counting this as 1 backlinks. Actually some moving companies that I was researching have 6 or 8 backlinks to themself.

Some people say that factors are:

Relative content
Page Ranking 4 and up
Age factor
Dofollow tag

There just no clear explanation to me what are the factors.

Thanks,

A "backlink" is simply any link from another site that points to your website. Whether it has anchor text or not can influence how the spiders boost your site's rank in your niche. For example...you can have a link that points to your site simply with the http:www.domain.com...then you can have a link that points to your site having what is called anchor text that pertains to the topic of your site like.....dog walking...if your site was about walking dogs. This tells the search engines that your site is likely to be about dog walking when they follow the link.
The spiders are supposed to obey the "no follow" tag, but in my experience it seems as though some of them ignore it and still follow. Maybe I could be wrong...
I also still believe that the PR of the page that links to your site is helpful since it makes logical sense.
For example, if I was regarded as being important (having high PR) and I point to you (I'm recommending you), people who recognize me as important would respect my opinion of you more and so...a link from a high PR site should be more valuable than a link from a low PR site.

In a much simpler explanation, the backlink factors are quality and relevancy. Google loves backlinks coming from relevant, quality sites.

A backlink is simply a link back to your website from another website. Age, PageRank and Relative Content can determine the "strength" of the backlink. The DoFollow tag is supposed to keep Google from making that a backlink, but this isn't necessarily the case for other search engines.

Relevance, Credibility, Authority, Trustworthiness and Quality are among the most important factors when it comes to backlinks. If the links pointing to your site comes from sites that have all these factors, then you can be sure that search engines will be looking on you with favour.

Back links are quite simply, links from other websites called back links. Back links are an important part of most successful websites on the net and are almost essential in order to get reasonable listings on search engines.

A backlink from any good site is valuable. But if it has higher PR and relevancy it is more important.

i think of 2 things only,

one is all of 100 sites have 1 IP so they we're considered as 1

another is, that most of the links are spam , and the other links are the only quality ones...
