Hi BHW, I would really appreciate it if you could validate my idea:
Some of the articles I've written on a publication that I own have received backlinks from Forbes and The Guardian. This got me thinking that online entrepreneurs work really hard to acquire backlinks, but have no way of "showing them off".
The Backlink Displayer tool would take an article that has received backlinks, and the user could pick the best ones to display on the right-hand side of the page. The text could be: "This Article is Referenced By Forbes".
This social signalling could actually help articles receive more backlinks if other writers see that a reputable source has already linked to it.
I would really appreciate any feedback on this so I can validate it prior to writing any code.
