SEO in Brisbane. Hot tip for today is about backlinks.

So backlinks are still a factor in Google's ranking.

Nowhere near as important as they used to be, but they still are a factor.

And the number of backlinks to your website is one of the indications to Google about the relevance of your website.

And, so having as many backlinks from webpages as possible, is a good thing.

Even if those pages are on, if there's multiple pages on the one website.

Do not have a friend put a link to your website on every page of their website, because Google will recognise that and mark you down for it.

Genuine backlinks, as many as possible, from as many pages as possible, even if they're on the same website.

So the more positive reviews

you can have for your website and your business,

crucial for your search engine optimisation.

with different devices.

And mostly that's

a smartphone and a tablet,

to see that

all of the pages are show up nicely,

on those mobile devices.
