What are backlinks?
Wikipedia: Backlinks are incoming links to a website or web page. The number of backlinks is an indication of the popularity or importance of that website or page. In basic link terminology, a backlink is any link received by a web node (web page, directory, website, or top level domain) from another web node (Björneborn and Ingwersen, 2004). Backlinks are also known as incoming links, inbound links, inlinks, and inward links.
If you like to earn money online or to bring in more search engine traffic, backlinks are extremely important to indicate the popularity or importance of that website or page. However, links with a “nofollow” tag will stop any PageRank going from the linking page to the page being ranked, however, PageRank is only used by Google. Other search engines might also use “nofollow” for similar purposes.
What are the benefits of backlinks?
The key benefits of backlinks are Traffic and PageRank. If you place your backlinks strategically, it should see some quality traffic coming to your site. By, strategically, I mean the link should be placed on a visible location, a related and popular website. You can either buy a text link or you can also participate in Web2.0 to make your links visible.
PageRank improves your Google search engine position, when people search, your site appears higher up, so the more back links the better. The higher the PageRank on the site that is linking to you the more PageRank it will pass to you.
Do Not Forget Your Anchor Text
You must also put some focus on your anchor text. When you are linking to your website or webpage, use a relevant anchor text that tells people the topic of your website. For example when linking to this site, KPeBiz.com, I would like to be linked as Extra Income Earn Money Online SEO Blog. Search engine picks up links with their anchor texts. So, the more links to my site with anchor text: “Extra Income” or “SEO”, for example, would make my search engine ranking with the term “Extra Income” or “SEO” rank better.

Anchor text in links is really a very important aspect in link building. Get it done well and webmasters can see a rapid increase in their SERPs. I however do not suggest buying links because there are many other methods of building links for free and there is always a time interval of nearly 2-3 months between each PR update which then give you ample time to build your links.
