What is linkbaiting? and how is it done?

[ugly_cat] · 08-09-2007, 11:15 PM

Link bait means: any content or feature within a website that somehow baits viewers to place links to it from other websites. Attempts to create link bait are frequently employed in the overall task of search engine optimization. Matt Cutts defines link bait as anything "... interesting enough to catch people's attention." Link bait can be an extremely powerful form of marketing as it is viral in nature. ~~ by wiki

What is Link Bait?

Link bait is content on your site to which other sites link because they want to, not because you ask them to. Traditionally, links are hard to get, requiring you to sacrifice your first born child (and at least link back, which nullifies their value in some search engines.) But with link bait, you "bait" your content and sit back and wait. Of course, you can be a little proactive and get a viral story going, too...

So, how does link bait help your SEO?

It creates more links to your site, which really do help you in the search engines. If you don't believe that, try a search on "click here." Furthermore, the links come to you -- you don't have to get on your knees and beg for the links.
It creates more links to your site, which send potential customers your way. After all, the whole purpose of SEO - coming up high in the search engines - is about reaching more people....
