Backlink question

[mis_chiff]

Does having a domain name that could be
considered a common phrase typo, help
with backlinks?
And are backlinks important to your site?

Reason: I have Slots.im for sale at sedo, no site on
it (yet)
I just used iwebtool to check backlinks, there
are 380.
When I checked to see who/what they were, most
of them were catching a phrase such as
- (just an example)
"get plugs to fill in the slots.Im not sure..."

so is this a good thing?
Just curious...

 

[irishmat]

any backlink is a good thing

this isnt considered like a real backlink,
its only a result, a piece of text corresponding to your domain, not an actual link to your website

Backlinks are extremely important for the search engine results for a website. When a certain keyword is being used in the Google search bar.
Considder them as votes like in an election of some sort. Backlinks combined with various other factors determine how high one would end up in the search results.

I have used this tool to see what the backlinks are for slots.im and there are some from NP as well as you can see.
When using the "Analyze this domain" feature on Sedo you get the ^^ same results.

You can also use Google to check your backlinks allthough it's not as accurate since Google doesn't show all the backlinks.

Example: Backlinks for

Namepros

Results for slots.im doing the same search shows nothing unfortunately.
Allthough doing a search for slots.im gives 32.900 results from the datacenter Google pulled his data from.

For development purposes this is very usefull since you could filter out the most relevant sites regarding content and try to see if you can plant some links on these pages.

This would help increasing SERP's (Search Engine Result Positioning) for the domain slots.im

In summary backlinks are very important since these are the votes from the internet how popular a site should be regarded.
There are however different factors that come into play but that's basicly what it is.

helps my understanding of them now.
Couldn't understand how it was happening while
parked at Sedo, now I get it!

Backlinks & Tradelinks are different , isnt it?

Any link linking to a website is a backlink.
