Question about Link Juice
-
Hi Everyone,
I have a couple of articles on which I have some internal links towards other articles.
My questions are the following:
Are the links in the header menu or the footer of the page take away from the juice of the article by spreading it?
Do the outbound links coming out of my article, do they have any impact on spreading the link juice of my internal links?Thank you in advance for your valuable inputs.

Link juice is a non-technical SEO term used to reference the SEO value of a hyperlink to a particular website or webpage.
According to Google, a multitude of quality hyperlinks (or just “links”) are one of the most important factors for gaining top rankings in the Google search engine.
The term “link juice” is SEO industry jargon. It’s often talked about in relation to link-building efforts such as guest posting, blogger outreach, linkbait, and broken link building.

Hey there, anwarjutt90!
Internal links are useful spreading link equity (or link juice, as you put it). While there is no definite answer on how many links you should include on a page, or exactly where they should be, I would encourage you to look at this from a user experience point of view. Do you want your users to land on this page, see the header link, immediately click on it, and leave the page? Would that be useful to them? If so, I would leave the link in place! But if exiting the page immediately will only distract them from consuming valuable content, I would consider omitting the link from the header, and putting it somewhere that's more useful.
Also remember - internal links are useful for establishing site architecture! So if the pages you are linking TO are important, perhaps you should consider moving them up in your site architecture.

We are moving to HTTPS and wanted to know if our link building efforts were in vain or will the link juice pass to HTTPS?
We are switching to HTTPS and want to make sure the links we've gotten in the past will still transfer since they are pointing to HTTP? I'd hate to go back through and ask people to please add an s to the link.

Subdomains and link juice
My site recently received two separate links from the same domain, but different subdomains. Will my site receive "full" link juice from each link, or do they water each other down? Thanks!

A few questions about link building?
1. Is it worth gaining more then 1 link on a website when link building, for example if I did a guest post on a blog, is it worth doing another guest post on the same blog linking to the same website? So 2 guest posts on 2 blogs, or 4 guest posts on 4 blogs? 2. When building links through guest blogging, you have two options, a link in the byline and a link in the content. Will a link in the content have more benefit then in the byline as its surrounded by relevant content? 3. Does having a link higher up the page have more benefit then one lower down?

How might Google differentiate between an artificial link exchange and partners linking to each other?
Hi, All! Artificial link exchanges (contacting a vaguely connected site and requesting to exchange links to increase your PR) is, as far as I know, considered an outdated, not-so-smart technique, as Google might devalue them. Yet, for real business partners to exchange links seems to be an entirely accepted and encouraged technique. While that would be intuitive to a human who's viewing the pages. how might Google detect when two sites that link to each other are linking because they are trusted business associates (valuable) as opposed to when they are doing a link exchange (devalued)? Thanks! Aviva

NEW LINKS
Hi If you plan to add new links to a site which currently has very few inbound links what is the maximum amount you could add in any one day before it is deemed by Google to be suspicious and unatural. I am referring ot manually added links, not robotic. Thank you 🙂
