Google juice is an internet slang for the ability or power of a website to turn up in Google searches. A website that commonly turns up as the first or second entry in a variety of searches - especially for keywords that are not part of the site's name - can be said to have a lot of Google juice. It is frequently used by bloggers and webmasters. Google's PageRank system plays a large role in ranking results for a given search. It works by counting how many times a page has been linked to and by the "quality" of those links - namely how many times the page that is linking has itself been linked to. In this way, sites with high Google rankings (i.e., lots of "Google juice") can offer to "share" or "give" Google juice to a less popular site. A link from a site with less Google juice can also be helpful in this regard to a lesser degree: there is less juice to give.

Bio

He also has three children, Joe, Bret, and Jessica, who he co-authored the book "Organic Disciplemaking" with. Dennis began Xenos with a group of friends in 1970, as a freshman in college.
Xenos Christian Fellowship
Xenos is a church of over 5000 people that Dennis began in 1970 as a small home Bible Study, after recently having become a Christian. Although Xenos is quite large, it does not consider itself a megachurch, but rather a movement of house churches, which are more independent than small groups in many other churches.
Xenos also has a number of features that it considers unique. These include the incorporation of "ministry houses", which are groups of single people of the same gender who chose to live together, particularly among people in the college ministry. Xenos also prides itself on having a high percentage of converts to Christianity, over 80% according to a church survey from 2005. Xenos does not hold large worship services, but large meetings are solely used for preaching.
Xenos is often considered quite controversial. It has been accused of being a cult, and over-using "church discipline" against members who won't fall into line. Xenos went through a large division in the early 90's, with approximately 1400 members leaving for other churches. Many of those who left protested that Xenos was moving away from its historical roots, and had doctrinal problems with the church.
