A backlink is a vote of confidence from another site — but not all votes count equally. Here's dofollow vs nofollow, quality vs quantity, and legitimate ways to actually earn them.

A robots.txt file is a set of instructions, not a lock — here's what it actually does, what it can't do, and how to write one that doesn't accidentally block your whole site.
