Link Juice

Link Juice, what is it? Is it comparable to V-8, apple or orange juice? I had a friend explain this to me before I got more internet savvy, and I didn’t understand it. I didn’t know what the hell he was talking about to be exact. If you’re anything like me, it takes time for ideas to come together and for things to “click.” I am glad things are finally clicking and coming together for me. I am learning more about SEO and how important and easy it is, to get your site ranked. So… I bet you are still wondering what link juice is, right?

I link, you link

It is important to get backlinks to your site. Backlinks raise your status in the eyes of Google and other search engines. For example, if you look at google there are only 10 spots on the first page. You really want to be on the first page! It’s no secret the majority of website traffic is received from the first ten slots. I have consciously made an effort to pay attention to the times I have gone past the first google page when searching for a keyword and i can say without hesitancy… zero! If you aren’t on the first page, chances are no one will find your website and you’ll be hanging the “closed for business sign”soon. How can you protect yourself against it? Get you some links!!!

“Spider” Web 2.0

I’ll be honest with you. When I first heard of web 2.0, I thought about the old commodore 64 and Atari 2600. I thought it was some kind of game or basic programming language. I didn’t know what it was, but now I do. Web 2.0 are sites which will help you get backlinks to raise your status in the search engine rankings. Here are some examples of these sites: squidoo, Linked In, and yes even good ol’ Facebook.  You’ll need to access these sites and use your keywords and anchor texts so these sites will point back to you and raise your seo rank. It can be time consuming but its something you’ll need to do to get traffic to your little corner of the world.

It came together

If you’re a newbie or someone with a bit of experience, Internet marketing can be overwhelming because there are so many terms to learn. Hang in there… it will come together. It did for me after I learned it in The Challenge. My recommendation is to take the Challenge when you get a chance as it is an excellent program to teach the basics of online marketing promotion. On a side note, Michelle MacPherson taught some of the backlinking modules and I found her to be a great teacher and she made it easy to understand. You can have a look at Michelle’s blog HERE. I’ll see you on the other side and don’t forget to drink your link juice!!!!
