What it means

A backlink is a link from another website to your website or one of its pages. It gives readers a route to your content and can help you understand where your website is being referenced. The existence of a link does not tell you whether anyone has clicked it.

An example

If a walking magazine links to your boot-care guide, that is a backlink to the guide. If the magazine adds links from several articles, you may have several backlinks from the same website.

Use the Backlinks page to inspect the recorded source pages and anchor text. Compare the individual link count with referring domains to understand how many separate websites are involved. Open relevant sources to judge their context instead of assessing a link only by its score.
