Question

Can you explain more on backlinks and what its damage it could cause to SEO?

Lucyorloski

Community Answer

If you have backlinks from a well-reputed website having higher DA and PA, then your website can have benefit from that link. Quality backlinks will help you to increase visibility on a search engine and gain more traffic to your website. Links from sites with poor reputations, or links created in unnatural ways can lead to SEO penalties.

Question

Why do I need to focus on SEO?

Aasim

Top Answerer

If you want your website to be visible to a large number of readers, you need to rank in search. That is not possible unless if you make quality and relevant content. Certain types of websites may never rank, but others certainly will.

Question

Why is off-page SEO necessary?

Ellie

Community Answer

Off-page SEO is necessary because it helps improve search engine rankings through link building, driving referral and organic traffic to the website through various off-page activities, increasing Domain Authority (DA) by assessing the website's authority in search engines, and enhancing brand visibility, trust, and credibility through effective off-page strategies.
