What is the difference between link juice and a backlink?

[Shumpanting]

I'm getting confused about the definition of linkjuice and a backlink. Can anyone explain this in a concise manner?

 

[saisaanvi]

Backlinks are the links on one website when clicked, that takes the user to another site. It is also as "inbound link" or "incoming link". The link between the two websites is the backlink. Link building is the process of building Backlinks to your website.

 

[Shumpanting]

I see. So what is a link juice then?

 

[Virender]

Link Juice: When a link is coming to your website from the another TRUSTED website which has highDomain Authority. Means already ranted in top of google SERP. Which builds your website's trust also.

Backlinks: A user comes to your website through another website.

That is total nonsense. First of all, Domain Authority is highly inaccurate. Even if it was accurate, it has nothing to do with the strength of a link unless that link was on the home page of the site. If it is buried 35 pages deep on the site, the domain authority is not going to help it much.

Second, a domain can have a high Domain Authority and not rank high. DA has nothing to do with rankings. It also has nothing to do with trust. No search engine on the planet uses Domain Authority.

To the OP, linkjuice is a term people use to talk about the strength of a link. There is no official measurement of it or stats to back it up. A link on the home page of a site like CNN.com is going to have a lot more linkjuice than a link on a page that is fairly obscure. Like this one as an example.

Oh Please!!! Just ask the poster to write it in correct English first.

And for the OP. Backlink is a link when a site links back to your site. And coming to link juice as just as SEOpub stated there is no perfect number for that. It totally depends on the host page from which the link is coming from.

I think you are questioning about MOZ Domain Authority. I don't know why "Just to Gain Attention" ?
I need you to go on the link once https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority

I know what Moz's Domain Authority is. It is a highly inaccurate metric that has nothing to do with rankings. What you said about DA was not true.

Nobody is trying to gain any attention. Its the fact what he is stating.

About Moz mertircs I am not saying its totally bad. But think for yourself, its a third party metrics. So, how can it be a factor in the SERP's.

Link juice refer to the value or equity passed from one page or site to another. This value is passed through hyperlinks. Search engines see links as votes by other websites that your page is valuable.

 

[willsonrobin]

Link juice is the term used in the SEO world to refer to the links passed from one page or site to another.
Backlinks are incoming links to a webpage. When a webpage links to any other page.

Backlinks - Link building is an idea that is part of the theme of the Off-Page Optimization and makes the description of the process of acquiring external links (also called backlinks). The goal of link building purposely increases the number of quality backlinks leading to your own website.

Link Juice - Link juice is a non-technical SEO term used to reference the SEO value of a hyperlink to a special website or webpage. According to Google, a multitude of quality hyperlinks (or just “links”) are one of the most important factors for realizing top rankings in the Google search engine.

HTH!:smart:

Link juice is an algorism a link ranking system to rate quality of link as explained above. High DA PR Alexa, dot gov, dot edu backlinks etc are considered link juice. Imo it is a collaboration of links seo backlinks media that are the linkjuice.

I was referirng to what i always considered was link juice. I do realize it has been explained.

 

[venkatweetz]

Link Juice is a metric which use to measure the value of the link.

Example:

Assume it your website is getting backlinks two different website ( Website A & B).

Website A's Domain authority is 50.
Website B"s Domain authority is 45.

Website A is link juice value is high.

Thats all.

Ignore everything in this post. It is utterly wrong.

DA has nothing to do with linkjuice. Even if DA was an accurate metric (it's not), it would only tell you the strength of a link on the home page of that domain, not how strong links are on any internal pages of the site.

Let's start with Backlink, Your website will get a backlink from a website where you have put a hyperlink (using any keyword or text). Your website will get a backlink once a Google crawler will crawl that content.

Link Juice: Link juice is a value which is passed by one website to another. You have to get more link juice means build more backlinks to get better ranking in search engines.
