Importance of Back-links for Increasing Keywords Ranking in Search Engine

View on Social Feed
I see it's been a while since you've posted, but I'm curious—have any of you noticed a shift in how search engines value backlinks lately? I've seen some movement in rankings even from nofollow links, which used to be considered less valuable. Could it be that Google’s algorithm is starting to look more at traffic and engagement instead of just link authority? Would love to hear what others are seeing.
 
I’ve seen good results by mixing in crowd marketing with high-quality backlinks. Posting useful comments in relevant forums and blogs where real conversations happen helped bring attention to my links without looking spammy. It worked especially well when I shared genuine experiences and answered questions instead of just dropping links. It takes a bit more time, but search engines seem to value those more organic mentions.
 
Backlinks play a critical role in improving keyword rankings in search engines like Google. They are considered one of the top ranking factors because they act as "votes of confidence" from other websites. When high-authority and relevant sites link back to your content, it signals to search engines that your page is trustworthy and valuable.


Here’s why backlinks are important:


  1. Improved Authority & Trustworthiness: The more quality backlinks your site has, the higher its domain authority becomes, which helps in ranking for competitive keywords.
  2. Faster Indexing: Backlinks help search engine bots discover your new content faster and index it quickly.
  3. Referral Traffic: Besides SEO, good backlinks also bring in direct visitors from the referring sites.
  4. Keyword Relevance: When backlinks use anchor texts related to your target keywords, it helps search engines understand the context of your page better.

But remember, not all backlinks are equal. Focus on quality over quantity—backlinks from relevant, authoritative sites matter much more than spammy or low-quality links.

Backlinks remain crucial for boosting keyword rankings in 2025, as they signal authority and trust to search engines, driving organic traffic. High-quality, relevant backlinks from high-DA sites amplify SEO impact, improving rankings for targeted keywords. For example, I promote Logic Simplified by adding backlinks for our Card Game Development Company on gaming forums and blogs, linking to their Poker and Rummy expertise. Similarly, I use backlinks for our Board Game Development Company on sites discussing Ludo or Chess, enhancing visibility. Focus on niche-relevant, high-DA platforms for maximum impact.

I know this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to add that with Google’s recent updates, the focus seems to be even more on E-E-A-T. Do you think backlinks from lower-authority sites still carry weight if the content is highly relevant? Curious what others think.
 
Still matters, but nowhere near how it used to. When I started it was volume, whoever had the most directory links won. Now it's relevance and whether the link actually makes sense in the sentence it's in.

I tested this on my own site, stopped chasing links entirely for a year and just fixed content and intent matching, and rankings held. Adding a handful of genuinely relevant links after that moved things more than the hundreds I'd built before.

Anchor text and placement matter more than count too. A contextual link in a relevant article does more than ten footer links anywhere.

The Link Building Guide has a decent breakdown of how much weight they carry now versus a few years back, worth reading if you're deciding where to spend budget.
