Where can I find a good definition of "link juice"?
-
I have heard the term link juice being used in many different contexts. Where can I find a good definition for it?
-
thanks very much for the clarification

No, you would have to calculate the whole internet.
He would be talking of PageRank only one component of Link Juice. And still the answer is NoWe know the roughtly how it flows, but not exacualy, and the caculation involve every link in your site and evey link in every site thart links to you and every link that links to them and so on.
OSE tyries to do this, while it is a good effort, probably the best effort so far, but is still only a indication. -
The reason I ask this is the feedback I got from someone I was negotiating a link with. He claimed to be able to objectively measure link juice. Is there an instrument that can do this. Based on what I read in the responses probably not?
-
I prefer to refer to link juice as link equity - what is the link worth to you? This all depends on the relationship, the relevancy and the authority that the source of the link has to you.

There are many different factors to do with linking, PR, Relevancy, domain divercity. When people say link juice them mean the general goodness that comes from a link rather then get specific and technical.

URL Question: Is there any value for ecomm sites in having a reverse "breadcrumb" in the URL?
Wondering if there is any value for e-comm sites to feature a reverse breadcrumb like structure in the URL? For example: Example: https://www.grainger.com/category/anchor-bolts/anchors/fasteners/ecatalog/N-8j5?ssf=3&ssf=3 where we have a reverse categorization happening? with /level2-sub-cat/level1-sub-cat/category in the reverse order as to the actual location on the site.

Does rel="canonical" support protocol relative URL?
I need to switch a site from http to https. We gonna add 301 redirect all over the board. I also use rel="canonical" to strip some queries parameter from the index (parameter uses to identify which navigation elements were use.) rel="canonical" can be used with relative or absolute links, but Google recommend using absolute links to minimize potential confusion or difficulties. So here my question, did you see any issue using relative protocol in rel="canonical"? Instead of:

Implementation of rel="next" & rel="prev"
Hi All, I'm looking to implement rel="next" & rel="prev", so I've been looking for examples. I looked at the source code for the MOZ.com forum, if anyone one is going to do it properly MOZ are. I noticed that the rel="next" & rel="prev" tags have been implemented in the a href tags that link to the previous and next pages rather than in the head. I'm assuming this is fine with Google but in their documentation they state to put the tags in the . Does it matter? Neil.

Quality links are beneficial, but are neutral links detrimental?
So obviously a link profile featuring quality / authoritative / relavant in-bound links is preferable, but here's my question: If I'm starting work on a brand new domain, should I build links that one would consider neutral (i.e. from a non-spammy, but unrelated site) or should I not bother and only focus on quality links? Thanks

"/blogroll" causing 404 error
I'm running a campaign, and the crawling report for my site returned a lot of 4xx errors. When I look at the URLs, they all have a "/blogroll" in the end, like: mysite.com/post-number-1/blogroll mysite.com/post-number-2/blogroll And so on, for pretty much all the pages. The thing is, I removed the blogroll widget completely, so I really wouldn't know what can possibly point to links like that. Is there anything to fix on the site? Thanks
