Yes it might seem like a stupid question but what is exactly a backlink, and what is its utility?

Thanks for your help

It's simply when someone links to your site from elsewhere, if you look at my signature there is a link to my blog - thats a backlink:)

If enough *important* sites link to your site from theirs, then Google starts to take notice, thinking that obviously you must be important too and it can improve your Google rankings considerably! Important sites are usually called authority sites - they would including anything ending in .gov or .edu and wiki sites amongst others:)

Than you very much, that's clear to me now .

And how do you get backlinks? Do you Buy it (And if you have a website with a lot of traffic, can you sell backlinks?)

Well thank you. I will try that

So does it count as a backlink when I post a comment on a big blog with a link pointing to my website (an interesting comment, I am not going to troll big websites to get a better ranking )

i just clicked your links so now it's 601 for MOC

blog comments count as backlinks, but then you get into the whole dofollow/nofollow debate lol - they don't pull as much weight as other links but every little counts
