We have one particular blog post that is very popular. How can we direct that traffic to other parts of our website?

We have one post in our blog that receives a large amount of traffic. Does anyone have suggestions on how to get people to click through to other posts and sections of the website? I'd like to learn how to harness that power.
Thanks,
Hill

I appreciate your response and insight. It's very helpful.
What makes this particular post so difficult is that it is a random subject that largely has nothing to do with the rest of our site. Which is part of the reason why we're so surprised it is so popular.
It was unexpected, and I'm grateful for the surprise. However, it adds a layer of difficulty to channeling that energy to the rest of the site.
Thanks, again.

I would make sure to include anchor text links to related pieces of content or old blog posts that apply to the same subject matter in the body content of the post. Users are more likely to click on a link in a blog content area then they are to click on other navigation elements. If there were a desired page on your website you were trying to direct them to specifically then you could use an attractive graphical "call to action" but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll visit the rest of the website fully.
I would be more inclined to see what about that post makes it very popular and play on that again. Is there a possible follow up post you could do or another post on a similar subject? As more great content begins to expand on the website and users continue to come they will notice other areas of the website that may also apply to them.

How i can Reduce Spam score of my website
Hi everyone, I'm reaching out to the community for some advice on improving my website's spam score. I've been using the Moz Spam Score Checker and my website, sngplbill.pk, currently has a score of 7%. While this isn't exceptionally high, I'd like to take steps to bring it down as low as possible, ideally under 1%. One factor I've identified that might be contributing to this score is a number of backlinks pointing to my site has a much higher spam score (over 80%). (screenshot attached)sngplbillscore I'm wondering if the community has any recommendations for how to address this situation. Here are some specific questions I have: Does disavowing the backlinks from spamy site seem like the best course of action?

Company on top website, no hyperlink
Hi - my company's name and website have been mentioned on 3 major websites but there is no hyperlink. Does this totally destroy any SEO value of these mentions? So disappointing, since it's hard to ask a reporter to include a hyperlink / they usually can't.

Re-Direct
We plan to re-direct our current site to a new site (with a new domain name as well) because the current site has many unnatural links and it would take too many hours to fix it and yet, the result is unknown and also the site has issues with userability and other SEO issues. Our question: since the current site is associated with unnatural links, but, it is a domain with 12 years history, should we re-direct it to the new website? My understanding is that no one is sure if the penalty will be carried over, is it something we can cut off if it happened? or should we not to risk re-direct, and just start from fresh?

Website dissapeared out of Google
Hi Everyone, About 2 months ago i launched a website called http://spelenroulette.nl, i did some linkbuilding for this website in the meantime with other roulette/gaming related websites and the website got a bit up in Google. But when i was checking my rankings today the frontpage of this website doesn't show up on the first 80 pages? Only some subpages are still on the same positions. Could this be for a rank-update like these happens all the time and your site dissapears from Google for several days, or could this be because of wrong/too many backlinks or something completely different? Regards, Yannick
