What is link juice?
Brett writes: So what is Link Juice - can you give me a simple, non-gobbledygook definition of Link Juice? It’s often mentioned on forums and need it defined in simple terms that I can understand. Thanks.
Without going into any real detail at all, I’ll try and explain Link Juice in a coouple of sentences:
The Google algorythm treats links from other sites, to your site, as votes for your site; recommendations, if you like.
So an incoming link sees link juice flowing into your website and a link from your site to another site sees link juice flowing out of your site.
So, to summarise: incoming link juice = good - outgoing link juice = not so good.
I hope this helps Brett and thanks for the question.

Yup, every time you create a backlink on another site a little “linkjuice” goes to your site which will help boost your site in the search engine rankings.

thanks mate. Nice info on Link Juice.
You have described Link juice so well
I know about the incoming link juice I didn’t realize about outgoing link juice. So, I think, to reduce outgoing link juice only 100 links max should be on one page. As I’ve reduced number of links from my site saminashealthyoptions.com
