Backlinks are  links that when clicked, it will connect you to another website. Backlinks are important especially on SEO. Search engines consider backlinks as votes. So basically the more backlinks you have the more votes you get, the higher your website rank.

But not all backlinks have the same value. High quality backlinks are the ones that are valuable and will help you rank in SERPs. So how do we know if it's high-quality backlinks? The following are some of the traits of a high quality backlink:

1. Should be natural. It’s great if someone links to your website because your website's content is really valuable and not because you paid for it. This is a good way to earn a backlink.

1. Links should come from a website that is trusted and authoritative. When other high quality websites link to your website, it sends positive signals to search engine crawlers, telling them the linked-to website is valuable, useful, and a result searchers would be happy to find.

1. Anchor text or the clickable words that include target keywords. Search engines use anchor text to help understand what your page is about and also, for which keywords it should rank.

1. Linking sites should be related to each other. Basically, this means that your page’s content should be related to the content of your backlink. 

You can create high quality backlinks using these guidelines. Yes it is time consuming, but eventually you’ll see its positive effect on your website.
