I've been reading a lot and learning here on BHW, and I keep seeing the word "Tier 1 backlinks", and "Tier 2 Backlinks". What is the difference between them?

Tier 1 backlinks directly point to your main site whereas tier 2 backlinks point to your tier 1 backlinks.

This is why tier 2 backlinks are usually of lower quality (and cheaper) because they are mainly used to boost the tier 1 links and if Google slaps a penalty or something, your main site doesn't get affected. And this is why tier 1 backlinks need to be of high quality so they don't pose any kind of risk to your main site.

i recommend best backlink quality tiers 1
tiers 2 be carefull, better quality than quantity

What is Tier 1 and Tier 2 backlinks?
Tiered link building is an SEO strategy that earns link juice and strengthens backlink profiles.
There are three tiers of links, each of which is of greater quality than the tier below it.
Tier 1: High-quality links from trustworthy sites. Tier 2: Medium-quality links from Web 2.0 sites.

Tier 1 backlinks are direct links from high-authority websites, while Tier 2 backlinks are links from lower-authority websites that are connected to Tier 1 backlinks.
