I found a site that allows you to check your page rank, pages indexed, backlinks, wesite value etc... (SmartPageRank.com) I'm confused - I thought that backlinks were where we linked to other sites not to the search engines and I thought that if your site was submitted to MSN or Altavista that they indexed your pages. Can anyone offer some clarity as to how these things work?

Thank you.
