backlink en · NOUN

Etymology

From back + link.

Meanings

  1. (Internet) A hyperlink to a webpage from an external website.
  2. A reference to an object on another server, allowing it to be updated periodically.
    • As mentioned, the major downside to using backlinks is that they are tied to a specific NetWare server and not tied to the external reference objects location in the NDS tree. 2002, Jeffrey F. Hughes, Blair W. Thomas, Novell's Guide to NetWare 6 Networks, page 467:
  3. A link to another page that links to the current one, often in an automatically assembled list of links to all other such pages, allowing for bidirectional navigation.
