Are Backlinks Still Important in SEO?

Are backlinks still important in SEO? SEO has changed a lot over the years. One thing that hasn't changed is that backlinks are still important. Do they work and function the same way within the algorithm as they did five, 10, 15 years ago? No, they function very differently now, but they are still very important for SEO.

More About CTO Migrations:

CTO Migrations is a service of the New Jersey based Charles Taylor Online LLC that helps businesses protect and recover organic search traffic during high-risk website changes, including site redesigns, rebrands, CMS changes, and domain migrations.

The service was founded by Charles Taylor, a veteran SEO and migration expert known as "The SEO Migration Guy." Charles brings over 20 years of enterprise SEO experience, including in-house leadership roles at Fox Corporation, Verizon, and Lexis-Nexis, and presents at SEO conferences such as Agency Fast Track.

CTO Migrations serves marketing directors, SEO professionals, developers, and website owners at medium to enterprise businesses, plus agencies seeking expert support for client migrations. Typical clients are planning a site redesign, rebrand, CMS change, or domain switch and want to avoid losing rankings, traffic, or revenue.

The service offers strategic guidance and hands-on support across the full migration lifecycle: URL mapping, redirect auditing, indexation recovery, and signal restoration. Clients choose a guided migration, where their team learns the process under supervision, or a full-service engagement with documentation and weekly calls. International SEO migrations, including hreflang implementation, are supported too.

CTO Migrations operates on five core principles: transparency, accountability, expertise, precision, and education. It is one of three service hubs under Charles Taylor Online LLC, alongside the SEO Strategy Room.
