Backlinking Domains
Content on a site is the most intuitive way to get organic traffic, Google ranks your site the content it has, but another important signal that Google uses are the other sites that link back to your website. these are called backlinks, and the higher the authority the website that links to your site, the more valuable Google considers your site. In other words, a link from Wikipedia or the NY Times is orders of magnitude more valuable than a site with very little traffic.
Backlinks play an important role when Google analyzes your site from an E-E-A-T perspective
