Its really good article, I did not knew about this cocitation.

 

Co-citation is an important and yet not very widespread phenomena that has been lying at the core of SEO to date. In short it is that certain things are always mentioned in similar contexts with certain affiliations. The affiliations or the sites end up getting ranked for the terms for which they have been co-cited with. The article of SEOMoz would help get a clear picture of this.

 

Co-citation is also known as citation SEO, co-citation analysis, co-citation SEO, SEO co-citation or any combination of those words. It all means the same thing. for getting more about Seo co-citation continue.... http://www.k2seo.com/what-is-seo-co-citation/

In summation it's pretty much the links/other sites that point to your website giving you authority. I know they make it sound all fancy and confusing by calling it "cocitation".

 

Thanks, it's rally worth reading....

So called co-citation (text around your link) is and has been present for a long time in SEO, for somebody rename it and tried to claim it as his invention.

 

Technically, SEO cocitation is the transitive property of link juice that defines how a domain may gain authority (i.e., link juice) not only from direct links, but from common links. Text around your link is something else, I've always called that Symantec similarity or keyword density.

I just wrote an article on the topic of Co-Citation:

Also see my video on SEO Cociation here:

Let me explain this in simple words. If your website e.g www.itbd.net is targeting on the keyword SEO Services and you are getting a link from a page of www.webdirectory.com and a another site is getting link from the same page and that site is related to your website. This is considered as Good Co-citation and good for your rankings but if that another website is not related to your theme (e.g. www.gambling.com) this site is linked from the same page you are getting link will be bad co-citation and bad for your rankings. So make sure to get links from those website that provides link to same website from a single page. Normallly Social Bookmarks are the example of bad Co-citation and Web Directories are example of Good Co-citation.

 

Thanks Markstev,

 

The process of co-citation refers to the similarities found between two webpages, based on a third-party webpage that successfully mentions the first two webpages in a correlation with each other. Based on that co-citation, Google identifies a relation – or link – between those two websites, which is then used as an important search engine-ranking factor.

 

Co-ciation refers to the process of link building without actual links.

 

Co-Citation comes when one or more site could be identified by any single web page or site. Google simply analyzes the different back link profiles of top ten or twenty ranking websites to the source authoritative hub websites commonly called as the common links or in other words co-citations.

 

Trying to understand SEO cocitation can be difficult. But the basic takeaways for small business websites owners are clear:

• Link freely to other highly authoritative websites in the space (i.e., relevant).
• Don't link to bad neighborhoods.
• When seeking inbound links, be mindful not only of the domain authority and relevance of the linking website, but where else that website links to. This will rule out most link buying tactics as those who sell links usually do so from networks, and almost always link to low-quality sites (i.e., other link buyers).

Webmasters should avoid being pulled into a bad neighborhood unknowingly by cocitation.
