A backlink is a link on one website directing to another. For example, if a blog about travel includes a link to a hotel's website, this is a backlink for the hotel's site. Backlinks are crucial for [search engine optimization] as they signal to search engines like Google that other sites consider the content credible, potentially boosting its search ranking. 4, record 1, English, - inbound%20link
