Backlink Management SEO Tool Linkody Review
Backlinks play a major role in improving your site's ranking. Companies invest a lot of money and time in building a strong SEO friendly content to improve the page ranking. Quality backlinks work towards the same objective in improving the page ranking of the site. A backlink or off-site link provides more value to the brand majorly because of two reasons:
1. A quality site when gives a backlink represents trust, popularity, and confidence in the content or service that you provide.
2. Followers or visitors of referral site land on your website and have default confidence in you just because you have been referred by the company that they have been following from long.
Link building is a tedious process and requires a lot of work. Backlinks so shared differ in value depending upon the external site that is giving you the backlink. Just like a link can add value to you, a poor link quality can do equal harm. Therefore it is very important for you to track and monitor your backlinks and link building activities.
