When it comes to Search Engine Optimization, I’ve always had a strong admiration for people that write about it on their blogs.   SEO stuff has always just been common sense to me, but I’ve always had difficulty explaining it in writing.  I’ve noticed many SEO experts try to add visual elements to their writing to help explain what they are trying to say, so I know I’m not the only one. 

On two separate occasions I’ve probably close to an hour each trying to write a post explaining internal linking and the idea of link juice, but I always end up getting frustrated and deleting it.   Sometimes analogies are the best way to explain this kind of stuff, and I’ve never been good with analogies.  With that said, recently I was excited to run across a post by Josh Spaulding on Blogging Tips called Increasing PageRank through Smart Internal Linking. 

In his post, Josh gives a great explanation of Google PageRank, link juice, and provides tips on improving your internal linking structure.   This is probably the best written post I’ve run across to date and I think its written in a way that even someone new to blogging could easily understand.
