Great . Here we have the answer.

A backlink is a link to your site from another site.

They can also increase traffic to your website.

a back link is when you link 2 websites or articles together---I have a main website where I promote my coaching business and link to all the articles I've written

They are inbound links from other sites to your site - and they are not as important as they once were
