Link Juice

“Link Juice” is a term from Search Engine Optimization (SEO) that refers to the value or authority passed from one webpage to another through hyperlinks. This "juice" helps influence how well a page ranks in search engine results (especially Google).


In simple terms:

When website A links to website B, it passes on some of its credibility or authority — that’s the "link juice." The more trusted and relevant site A is, the more juice it passes.


Key factors that influence link juice:

  • Authority of the linking site (e.g., a major news site vs. a small blog)

  • Number of outgoing links: The more links on a page, the less juice each one gets.

  • Follow vs. Nofollow: Only dofollow links typically pass link juice. Nofollow links (with rel="nofollow") usually don’t.

  • Link placement: A link within the main content has more value than one in the footer or sidebar.

  • Relevance: A link from a site with related content carries more weight.


Example:

A backlink from Wikipedia to your site gives you a ton of link juice — Google sees it as a sign of trust. A link from an unknown or spammy site, on the other hand, might do little or even harm your rankings.
