How to maximize a quality backlink?

[mr_w]

Just noticed a huge spike on one of our How To articles and found that a Lifehacker article used our article as a reference and linked back to it. Is there anything I can to to maximize the link juice from this backlink?

Hi there

Out of the gate - look for internal linking opportunities from that page. Make sure they are relevant and assist in enhancing the article itself. You could link to other articles in the same topic area, or put at the bottom "Other Articles We Recommend". Do not go overboard, do not overoptimize anchor text. Make sure it's a natural mention and link.

What this will do is help spread equity to other internal pages and may give them a little boost as well.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Thanks for the response, the article already had these so I guess I'll just chock this one up as a "natural link from good content" win!
