If you blog with Blogger.com, then the term 'backlink' has a very specific definition that is used to identify all incoming links to your blog from other Blogger.com blogs that link to one of your posts. Backlinks are published as links within the Comments section of your blog post that the other Blogger.com blog linked to. For Blogger.com users, backlinks act as a tap on the shoulder from one blogger to another to let the original source know that they've been linked to.

Backlinks are incoming links to a website or web page. In basic link terminology, a backlink is any link received by a web node (web page, directory, website, or top level domain) from another web node.[1] Backlinks are also known as incoming links, inbound links, inlinks, and inward links.

Inbound links were originally important (prior to the emergence of search engines) as a primary means of web navigation; today their significance lies in search engine optimization (SEO). The number of backlinks is one indication of the popularity or importance of that website or page (for example, this is used by Google to determine the PageRank of a webpage). Outside of SEO, the backlinks of a webpage may be of significant personal, cultural or semantic interest.
