If Google gives us a bump, wonderful. I'd be here if it was a private group.

But what's the competition on that topic?  :)  But seriously, AR over the recent years has still managed to get page one or two for my listings.  Sometimes, I've managed to get half the spots on page one because of the various sites I posted on.

I suspect that if our SEO juice wasn't good, we wouldn't have as many spammers.

Of course, no talk of Juice is complete without "No Wheezing the Juice"

It's a funny post for sure, and I suppose that term would be obscure enough in this country to make it easy to find.

When I look at traffic on my AR post from some years ago and then compare traffic in more recent years, google juice is way down.

There was once a time where NOTHING worked better than AR in terms of juice . . .  it still does but I don't think anywhere near what it did, which was a predictable result. 

ActiveRain.com?  Is it a weather channel?

Don't worry about what it is, it's an innocuous channel of imperialistic real estate workers arguing over petty issues.

And sometimes yes, a weather channel . . . LOLZ

No I do not think it does of course some of us know how to work it & others don't. Have not seen the supposed changes that were to be made to correct that. Haven't heard from Ben's team.

well I have to go read that post now.  But no, it hasn't lost all of it.  My phone still rings.  I didn't actually WANT the call I got yesterday (very bitter divorce) but I was found on AR.

Things are always evolving over the period. With AI and other bots, it may not know about awesome AR content but give it the time it will come around.

Liz and Bill Spear  That is a loaded question.  Some of my posts hit the JUICE on GOOGLE but not on AR if that makes sense  and some do not - I will say it seems to be getting much better
