#REDIRECT [[PageRank]]
'''Google Juice''', sometimes contracted to '''GoogleJuice''', is an [[ethereal]] [[substance]] that flows between [[hyperlinks]] on the [[Internet]] between [[web page|web pages]] in both directions. Web pages with lots of interconnecting links on them get more Google Juice and are therefore likely to have a higher [[PageRank]], a [[SEO]] measure which suggests how prominently a particular web page is likely to be after a given search. One [[definition]] suggests it is a "mysterious quality that causes pages to come up high in a [[Google]] search."<ref name=twsApr8fsaae>{{cite news

<blockquote>One of the ways Google determines the relevancy of things you search for is by looking at all the [[backlink]]s, or the pages that link to it. It's like a popularity system based on [[hyperlink]] "votes." Not all backlinks are created equal, however. Pages with higher PageRank (more Google juice) transfer more relevancy to pages they link to. So rather than focus on sheer [[quantity]] of links, you should focus on the [[quality]] links and try to attract or create links from pages with the most Google juice.<ref name=twsApr8fs333e>{{cite news
