A back link is just a vote for your website
It matters what website you have them on as the authority of that website will be transferred to your website
Equally back links from bad websites or scam sites can do your website great harm

Hey Robby

You are asking a really smart question and honestly it is awesome you are getting into this early

A backlink is when another website links back to your website. It is like a trust signal for Google. The more good backlinks you have pointing to your site the better your chances of ranking higher in search results

Here is how you can start getting backlinks

First focus on creating really good content. Helpful honest or interesting content naturally attracts links over time

Second you can offer to write guest posts for other blogs. When you do that you can usually add a link back to your own site

Third look for places to list your site like business directories or niche directories. Some are free some are paid but a few quality ones can really help

Fourth get your content out there. Share it in Facebook groups, on Pinterest, in forums. Anywhere it makes sense. The more people who see it the more chances you get a backlink

Fifth build real connections with people in your niche. Comment on their blogs, share their stuff, be helpful. Sometimes just being a good community member leads to people linking back to you naturally

Sixth create stuff people want to link to. Things like checklists, resource guides, free downloads or anything super helpful. These kinds of things tend to get shared and linked to

One thing to remember is quality matters way more than quantity. A few strong backlinks from good sites are way better than getting a ton from random places
