A backlink is a reference link from one website to another. Links from reliable, authoritative websites can make the receiving site appear more trustworthy to Google and contribute to its performance in search results. A large number of poor or non-organic backlinks can instead cause harm. Webmasters should audit backlinks regularly with free or paid tools and use the Disavow Tool in Search Console for bad or spam links.
