How important are back links for seo?

:rolleyes::rolleyes:Remember, link popularity is hugely important, but the quality of those links is equally important. There are two parts to link quality. First, sites that are pointing to your website ideally must have related content. Search engines will give links from sites with related content more value. The second component to link quality is the actual words the other webmaster uses in your link. The intent is to ensure the links pointing back to your website include your most relevant keywords in the link title.
