Every one wants to be popular but to be popular, you have to do lot of work and make important decisions from your mind.Today’s topic is co-citaions. There are so many people out there who do not know the meaning of co-citations in blogging but in case you have no idea what it means, this is the main thing you need these days to be a popular and successful blogger by leaps and bounds. The best definitions of co-citations for you and which i thinks is the best is below:
The simultaneous linking to each of a group of webpages from each of another group of webpages, even though the members of the group do not link to each other; used by some search engines to establish a connection between related pages
Google Penguin update is designed so that it maintains your position in SERP and Google wants to show the most relevant and quality content which is loved by readers. Let me explain co-citations from your life example: You are writing an article about how to connect Cisco hub in a computer network, you have lots of subscribers, local and foreign, there are many results but readers want the accurate information which can help them so, might tell them by given a link to Cisco store, by telling them the best model of the hub switch, best wires to use and all that. All links given by you in one article are pointing to other websites with the following information. All these links are called co-citations, Google will look all the links if they are relevant to each other you will got a push up in your serp position. I hope now you can understand why is this more important. Should we forget anchor text? Absolutely not. But we have to give more attention to co-citations because they are more praised by search engines than anchor text because anchor text is placed by the owner and co-citations are earned by your killer content. There are lots of benefits of this simple technique some are as follows.
