Question about Link Juice

[anwarjutt90]

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.
