First let discuss what a link (hyperlink) is? A link is what connects web pages to other web pages. This brings us to what a backlink is and how to get them.
Backlinks

Backlinks (also called "incoming links") are ahref links pointing from a website to your website or another website. If website A link to website B, it is called a backlink. It is known to be Off-Site Seo practice.
What does backlinks do?
Backlinks are the back backbones or pillar of a website. It is said to be a vote from other website. Google and other search engines still consider backlinks as one of the most important ranking factor. Due to the use of search engines by users, Backlinks is very important in order for your page to rank higher on search engine result pages (SERPs).
Increase organic search ranking
Backlinks increases your orgainc search ranking, it gives both page rank and authority to a website.
Authority and Rank
Page Authority and Page Rank does not just happen it happens when a authoritative website links to another website in return passing link juice and giving you a chance to rank higher in search engines.
Link juice
This is the amount of SEO value one backlink gives to the website it links to.
Traffic referral and discovering
Backlinks gives your site a faster chance to get noticed. Let say this "Is a link" on this website but links to external website, when readers click it and it takes them to the website, assuming its a new website, then the website just got discovered by a new reader in other words giving the website increase in traffic. Thanks to me.
Fast Indexing
Backlinks helps in making search bots discover your page quickly and pick it for index. A backlink can be follow or nofollow.
What are dofollow backlinks?
This are links that are marked as rel="follow" example <a href="domain.com">domain.com</a> These domain is marked as dofollow by default, the rel="follow" tells search robots to follow this domain or url (if you get this from a website like CNN or Forbes count yourself a lucky person cause it is rear). It is very important to website and search engines in general. It adds you the value you want and also gives your website a huge boost in search engine unlike nofollow.
What are nofollow backlinks?
They are links that are marked as rel="follow", example <a href="website.com" rel="nofollow">Website</a>. The nofollow tag tells search engine bots not to pick or follow the link or domain. It does not add a value to a website like a rel="follow" does. You should know, there is no way a website can survive not having nofollow links, the chance is 0/100. Further more nofollow link not totally useless, although it gives you little or no value but having it can also help your blog.
