Just got huge PR backlinks...Now what?

Yesterday I was able to get 2 big backlinks from a friend of a friend. (Yes, they are all related content sites). I got a pr7 and a pr5, which are not indexed yet but I am assuming will be this week. I'm pretty excited since they only link to sites with quality content that will benefit their readers.

My question is, how do I take advantage of this to the max? Is there anything I should do with keywords, anchor text, title tags, etc? If I am at a pr1 right now, how much should this help my pr, and again, is there anything I can do to maximize the benefit of being linked to those types of sites??

Thanks in advance.

Make sure that the anchors are optimised according to your target KW's.
Don't worry about "how much it helps your PR"... Nobody can tell you that anyway and it doesn't matter... You'll know soon enough!
I would consider having one (or both) of them link to deep pages (rather than simply the home page).
Unless your site isn't yet optmiised, there's no need to mess with it on account of these links; better to spend your time pursuing more links and improving the quality of your content (the work never stops)!

Good Luck.

ClickyB, why is linking it to deep pages better than just the home page?

ONe of the high PR sites linked to my main keyword. The other used my domain name. I'm not going to e-mail him back, bother him, and tell him to change it. Beggers can't be choosers, right?! They are both to my homepage which is the page I want optimized the most. My subpages are very good content, but I'd rather draw the traffic home.

Is there not a page on your site that could be more relevant and worthy of those high PR links? The most accurate page/content on your site should get the links. This goes for any type of link building. We find sites that are relevant to ours and direct links to the most relevant page on our site. This is certainly not our homepage. I would guess you have specific reasons why you want to direct hand picked links to your homepage.

In many instances, the homepage of a site receives the most links and PR by nature. (not that it matters anyway) The links to internal pages help the SE bots get deeper crawls of your site. If your site has mediocre navigation, it may be difficult for the SE's to index your inner pages. The deep links to internal pages helps get around that and helps get your entire site indexed.

It's not necessarily a question of "better", but deep links are great for enhanced indexing and for promoting specific areas / categories / products / keywords etc...
It's not always easy to get deep links so - if a friend is offering - it seemed like to good an oppoortunity to miss (promoting 2 pages rather then just one).

That's fine... The generic link won't hurt and I sure do understand that you don't want to upset the applecart when he's helping you out like this...
(From your original post it sounded like you had choices)

Re Which page - it's up to you of course (and depends on your site size / layout / KWs / plans etc) just bear in mind what I said above.

When we get such an option, we should take maximum benefit of it and it depends on website business and services directly.

If the website is a service website and your homepage says all your services and have very high relevance than internal pages, you can have both on the homepage.

But as clickyB says that deep linking is a key factor, yes it is, consider you sell brand products and you have 2nd most important brand name page after homepage where you want better reputation in search engines as you want people searching a brand lands to your brand page from search engine and choose the product they want to buy, than you have a good option to have internal page linking,

Get the MAXIMUM of it, when you have a chance...and all matters on your strategy and business

i go with cliky's advice, especially about optimizing the anchor words which i think is one of the most important even critical factors in seo

i would like to hear back from you in a future thread how it appears to have worked out, and if these new links helped your pr/serps or whatever..so keep us informed.

I use internal linking I add footer of website and use some of long tail keywords on website footer and linked it with internal targeted page which are I access after Google analytic and after understanding user behavior towards our client website and I change it I see what it the perfect match it what I have add in that internal or for home page.

I do deep with our content I use different attractive color because it give us improve change to user click on that link and go for related articles page and it improve change for one way links if our article page is unique and insightful……
