An article backlink is a link from an article on one website to a page on another website. For a business owner, the easiest way to picture it is as a reference: the article introduces a topic, then points readers towards a relevant website.
The article, the link and the destination
Imagine an article about planning a workspace. A sentence might mention a suitable furniture supplier and link to that supplier’s website. The article is the context. The clickable words are the link text, also called anchor text. The supplier’s page is the destination.
This is an illustrative example, not a SEOmini placement or client result. The useful question is whether the connection makes sense to the reader.
Natural wording matters
Link text should help readers understand what they will find when they follow it. A descriptive phrase can do this without repeating the same target keyword every time. Google’s link guidance recommends clear, relevant anchor text that fits the content around it.
How SEOmini counts a placement
For SEOmini, one backlink placement means one published link from an external webpage to your website. Each plan covers up to 10 completed placements during the monthly campaign. We prepare suitable articles to support those placements; the package is not a custom article-writing service for your own website.
You receive the completed backlink URLs in a monthly report. See the illustrative backlink samples for the format, or read about our article backlink service.
