Hi folks. Well, if you are starting out on your blog or trying to share content here on Hive, backlinks are important in order to rank your content in search engines. Ranking your content means more traffic for you thus providing more chances of earning revenue.
Well, that's possible on your blog, in terms of Hive, you could only get upvoted from users on the platform as you can't earn from ads on Hive. Don't know if they could then add earnings from ads as well sometime in future.
But anyway, let's come back to the importance of backlinks.
Backlinks
Backlinks are the incoming links. These are the links from one website to a page on another website through an anchor text. Backlinks are considered as votes for a specific page by Google and search engines which indicates relevance, quality and authority to the web page.
Pages having a high number of relevant backlinks tend to rank high in search engines.
If you want to rank higher in SERPs, focus on quality backlinks. Backlinks from websites that are authoritative and trusted.
