What Is Link Building and Why Does It Matter?

Search engines like Google use backlinks to determine a website’s credibility. The more high-quality sites linking to you, the higher you rank.

📈 Link Equity & Domain Authority Explained

• Link Equity (SEO Juice): The value passed from one site to another via a backlink.

• Domain Authority (DA): A score (0-100) predicting how well a site will rank. More quality backlinks = higher DA.
