class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An inbound link is basically a backlink that comes from a third-party website to your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you have heard about building backlinks before, it\u2019s the same thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Any Inbound link has two components: a link to your website or specific page and an anchor text under which the backlink has been inserted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s an essential part of the whole website ecosystem that helps search engines like Google evaluate the worth of a web page based on the number of inbound links it gets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here\u2019s an example of an Inbound link that we have placed in one of our posts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-full wp-image-4249 aligncenter\"

style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can clearly see we have linked to one of the Wikipedia pages for the anchor text \u201cTLD\u201d because that page is highly relevant to that topic and shares a deeper understanding of the word \u201cTLD\u201d OR \u201ctop-level domain.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Inbound_Links_Are_a_Crucial_Part_of_SEO\"><\/span><strong>Why Inbound Links Are a Crucial Part of SEO?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now that you know the meaning of Inbound links, let\u2019s quickly understand why it\u2019s a crucial part of any SEO strategy that no one can overlook.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before ranking any web page, Google evaluates a web page based on various ranking factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Google bots do not have the ability to read and understand your content, they sorely rely on these ranking factors to evaluate the relevance and worth of any web page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Among all the possible ranking factors that Google uses, backlinks are the most crucial one after content quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When an external website links out to your web page, it sends out a voting signal to Google that your content is of high quality and other websites are finding your content or web page credible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Especially inbound links that do not contain the <a href=\"https:\/\/zutrix.com\/blog\/what-is-dofollow-link\/\">\u201cnofollow\u201d attribute<\/a> within the HTML link tag pass PageRank from the linking page to your web page, which in return increases the overall <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/PageRank\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">PageRank<\/a> of your web page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you don\u2019t know what PageRank is, it\u2019s an algorithm by Google that helps them evaluate the relative importance of any web page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the early days of Google, the effects of inbound links on your SEO performance mainly depended on the number of links a page had.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But now, the game has completely changed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the number of inbound links still plays a crucial factor, the quality of links determines how well your web page will perform in the search engine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By quality, I mean inbound links that come from relevant and high-authority websites.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inbound_Vs_Outbound_Vs_Internal_Links\"><\/span><strong>Inbound Vs. Outbound Vs. Internal Links<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In SEO, we mainly focus on three types of links:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Inbound links<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Outbound links<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Internal links<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All of these three types of links are a crucial part of SEO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As we have already shared, Inbound links (also known as backlinks) are links that come from an external website to a specific page on our website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the flip side, <a href=\"https:\/\/zutrix.com\/blog\/outbound-links\/\">Outbound links<\/a> do the opposite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Outbound links are the links that we point out to some other external websites from our website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lastly, <a href=\"https:\/\/zutrix.com\/blog\/internal-linking-for-seo\/\">Internal links<\/a> are the links that point from one page to another page of your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you want to build a solid SEO foundation for your website and rank higher for your targeted keywords, you must prioritize each of these link types.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Check_Inbound_Links_of_Your_Website\"><\/span><strong>How to Check Inbound Links of Your Website<\/strong><span
