Backlink is one of the most talking keyword in SEO community. This post is not enough to explain the backlinks more briefly, but I will consider explaining some major points that you should avoid.
Out-bound links: A link point to another website or blog from your blog is called, an out-bound link. Doesn't matter the location of your out-bond links. It may be placed in your comment, sidebar, or footer sections. You are responsible for each out-bound links exist on your blog or website. Only links to those websites you trust or they don't have bad reputation on the web without having penalties by algorithm updates. If you are confused to track its reputation, just use the nofollow tag attribute when link to such websites.

I have already told you that you are also responsible for your backlinks too. Therefore, if you found any backlinks which is suspicious you have to take action on it.
