What is a backlink?

[HungryWriter]

And how does it help your blog?

Also, sometimes I get a comment and it says this post was mentioned in a tweet. Why does that happen and is it beneficial?

I'm not sure either, but i think its a link from a different site owned by somebody else to yours. To get you more traffic. If im wrong id love to know the answer

A backlink is a link placed a site linking to another. It can be a way to increase pagerank {google} or as a link exchange. Backlinks can also lead back to the same site.

From my little knowledge I understand that every profile has a back link or you can put back link there. Now you need to know what is back link, back link is you can put some link or in your profile. that is, if you want you can link some website or blog from your profile by putting keywords and linking it with the keywords. So if anyone see your profile then he may click on the back link and he may visit the website. So in my knowledge making this link is called back link.

Backlinks are simply links to your site. The more quality, relevant links the better!

Leaving your site link on somebody else place mean on their site or blog. By doing this on dofollow site or blog you will get a dofollow backlink which everybody believes google will give you some PR....
