Linkjuice

Finding websites that want to post links to your website and content can help increase your site’s rating. The total of backlinks on the Internet is called linkjuice. In the recent past, every so-called backlink contributed to your rating, but that is no longer the case. Now you can only get a better ranking if popular sites backlink to your content.

What is linkjuice?

Literally translated, linkjuice is the soup of links created by websites linking to each other in a variety of ways. It makes sense that you would like to have your website promoted by other websites, especially if they are websites with a high rating with the search engines.

In linkjuice, links to those Web sites are important, because that increases your own rating by search engines. Conversely, backlinks to poorly rated sites have no effect on your rating, even if there are a lot of them.

Examples of linkjuice

Concrete examples of linkjuice cannot be given. Linkjuice is the total of backlinks on the Internet. Backlinks from sites with high ratings will positively influence the popularity of the site being linked to. A site’s rating is not affected by people posting backlinks to your site.

The importance of linkjuice

It is good to realize that linkjuice can play a role in search engine ranking. Therefore, it is good to take advantage of backlinks when the opportunity arises. You can also try to elicit through quality content that well-regarded sites link to you.

However, don’t stare blindly at external links to your website. The links you place internally between the pages of your website also count heavily in linkjuice. So those in the linkjuice also help influence your own ranking.

The impact of linkjuice

By properly using linkjuice, especially by using internal links, you can increase the rating for your site. Above all, do not overestimate the influence of external links. These only contribute to a better rating if they come from sites with a higher rating than yourself.

My advice

Take advantage of linkjuice on your own site and otherwise only when the opportunity arises. However, don’t spend too much time and energy on it.
