Back links are what determine a sites rank, more than any other variable in the Google algorithm... more backlinks you have, high Pr, and website rank you will get.
A link from other website to your website is called backlink. The number of good quality backlinks will help to get high Page Rank and good search engine position.
link building is the technique which rises your rank in the search engines google does it by authority you have a authority websites you get high rank in the search engines.
The number of the backlink does not determine the PR. As shown in the table below, some websites with much greater number of backlink could rank much lower than the ones with a few backlinks.
The value of the links as well as the relevancy of the page linking to the site, are much more important. Only dofollow links will pass page rank value and helps serp ranking increase in google. If you have been doing link building for google search engine optimization, you need to get dofollow backlinks.
