How to link bait you might ask
Link bait is the catch phrase of the year. If you’re not onto what link bait is then you probably aren’t too much into internet marketing. Every other blog post or search engine marketing forum post this year has had it mentioned in it.
So what is it?
Link baiting is the sole principle of making an article, image, idea, tool, etc. that is so irresistible, so remarkable, that the world feels the need to share it with others. This is why search marketers relish in it. Imagine something that can create free backlinks, free traffic, free promotion why you sleep. Proper link baiting can be an unstoppable force.
Most of the time, “link bait” is something controversial. If you notice something in your industry that is ridiculous, talk about it, blog it, then go post it in forums, get it out there so the public can relish in the “ridiculousness” of it. Then just sit back and watch as other’s do the work for you.
Google even mentioned it lately as a preferred technique for building links. Bottom line is if your not link baiting yet, you should be, so get out there and do it!
