Backlinks

According to
Wikipedia, backlinks "are
incoming links to a website or web page. The
number of backlinks is an
indication of the popularity or importance of
that website or page. In basic link
terminology, a backlink is any link received by
a web node (web page, directory, website, or
top level domain) from another web node
(Björneborn and Ingwersen, 2004).
Backlinks are also known as
incoming links, inbound links, inlinks, and
inward links."
