Backlinks are not harmful to your website ranking. If you have enough unique quality backlinks, they will improve your website's search engine rankings.
However, if you have bad quality backlinks or if you have too many spammy-type backlinks, they can harm your website's search engine rankings.
The best backlinks are the ones that come from high-authority websites.
