The days of stacking backlinks by pasting links in forums, blog comments, and directories are long gone.
Search engines have evolved to identify and discount such low-quality links. Instead, they now reward high-quality links from reputable and established websites.
That's why the quantity doesn't hold much value. The emphasis on the number, be it backlinks or referring domains, has little to no meaning.
Ask any sane SEO expert, and she will tell you that it's not the 220K backlinks and 10K referring domains that matter. It's the top-quality links that make the difference.
One high-quality link can move the needle far more than thousands of low-quality, bottom-of-the-barrel links.
A high-quality backlink is a link from a relevant website that ranks well on Google, has organic traffic, and can actually send you some referral visitors.
Put simply, a high-quality backlink is a backlink from a high "authority" website.
But "authority" is a fuzzy word.
A better way to look at it is:
A high-quality backlink should be relevant and should be able to send you traffic. The referring domain itself must rank well on Google and have significant organic traffic.
Everything else is a noise.
A link from a site that gets no traffic? It's not a quality link. A link from a site filled with low-quality or AI-generated content? It's not a quality link. A link from a site with inflated domain "authority" metrics? Again, that's not a quality link - that's garbage wrapped in a gold foil.
Based on experiments and research, Semrush is the best tool for measuring backlink quality. Here's why:
And that's why Semrush data is used to find the top-quality links in this tool.

The top 10 backlinks are sorted by their AS, starting with the highest-quality links and descending to the lower-quality ones.
