An other common question asked by a person new to the Internet. What is a backlink? What is an inbound link (IBL)?

Why, because I am often asked this question. And because there is a thread on this at HighRankings named What Is Back Link?.
As OWG says in that thread "Backlinks are link that point back to your site". They are links pointing inwards to your pages. Here is a picture to explain.
