Backlinks are one of the most important ranking factors in SEO. They are also one of the most misunderstood. A backlink is simply a link from one website to another. However, not all backlinks are created equal. The quality of a backlink depends on many factors, such as the authority of the site linking to yours, the relevancy of the link, and whether the link is dofollow or nofollow. In this blog post, we will be focusing on sitewide backlinks. Sitewide backlinks are links that appear on every page of a website. For example, if you have a blog with five posts, and each post has a link to your website in the footer, that would count as five sitewide backlinks. Sitewide backlinks should come from websites that are relevant to yours that have a lot of authority. However, they can also be spammy if they come from low-quality websites or if they’re over-optimized (e.g., if the anchor text is always the same).
