The idea was simple and it still applies today: Backlinks act as a signal that a page can be trusted, and a website that has more backlinks than others deserves to be ranked higher in Google's search results. Things have of course changed since the early 2000s and nowadays it is no longer about numbers but rather about quality, so that websites that have more backlinks of higher quality rank better on the search pages.

  7. The main purpose of SEO is to optimize a website so that it is visible as much as possible in the various search engines, especially in Google. To accomplish this, you must first ensure that search engine crawlers can easily access and index the pages of your website (this is called technical SEO ). Next, you have to work on your pages (one at a time) and make sure that the search engines perceive them correctly in terms of page structure, page titles, headings , meta descriptions (this is called on-page SEO ). In addition, you must optimize your content for both search engines and users (this is called seo texts ).

It comes from a website that Google trusts and that has high domain authority. It comes from a high quality website.

A bad backlink is characterized by the following: ● You pay for it ● It is based on a link exchange ● It comes from a low quality website (eg a list of articles) ● It comes from a page that Google doesn't trust and has low domain authority. ● It comes from a website with little or no original content ● Its sole purpose is to manipulate the ranking in Google A web page with many bad backlinks can actually risk punishment by Google, either for the whole website or for any individual page, and also lose its ranking in Google. NOTE : Even though some of the recent changes in Google's algorithm are about automatically ignoring bad links, a website can still be penalized.

  12. 03 03 Dofollow and nofollow Dofollow and nofollow links links

  13. All links are by default "follow links", i.e. "follow links". In practice, this means that the search bot that finds a link that leads to another domain follows this link and sees it as a sign of credibility from one domain to another. This caused problems for ads that contained links, comments, and other types of links that were used for informational purposes only, and also for those links that pointed to content that might not always be trusted. If you use an advertising platform on your website, such as adsense, you do not want the links in the ads to transfer page rank from your website to the advertiser. The same goes for links that appear in the comment field. To solve this problem, the search engines have agreed to use nofollow tags for links. This is a tag you can add to your links that tells search engines not to follow that particular link.

  14. Another measure taken by Google to maintain the quality of its search results is to penalize those websites that try to manipulate their algorithms by buying links, participating in link exchanges, or completely bombarding the web with poor quality content (which they usually find in article listings). just to get a link that leads to their website. Google penalized not only the websites that received the links but also the websites where the links were placed. To learn more about Google's backlink penalties, read the following: Unnatural links from your website (by Google) Link schemes (by Google) Link-based penalties (Wikipedia) It's important to keep in mind that Google can not only penalize a website for having lots of low-quality inbound links, but also for having lots of unnatural outbound links.
