Backlinks are incoming links to a website or web page. The more backlinks to your website the better. Killer content is the fastest way to get backlinks.

Mainly used for search engine optimization, and often referred to as internet currency, the more backlinks you have to your website the more authority your website has with Google and other search engines. Pagerank is the term Google uses for website authority. Google ranks websites on a scale of 1 to 10, with the higher the rank the more authority the website has.

Only a handful of websites have Pagerank over 8. you can count the the number of websites with pagerank of 10 on one hand.

Along with more website authority, backlinks also help with driving traffic to your website.
