🔗 Link Building: Key Concepts

Backlink: A hyperlink from another website that points to your site.
-
Domain Authority (DA): A score (0–100) predicting how well a site will rank; higher DA backlinks are more valuable.
-
DoFollow vs. NoFollow:
-
DoFollow links pass SEO value.

NoFollow links don’t pass authority but can still drive traffic and brand awareness.
-

Anchor Text: The clickable words in a link—important for keyword relevance.
