Can you explain what is Link Baiting?

[irunbackwards]

Link baiting is writing juicy content that encourages readers to re-post or link back to your original post.

Pretty much link baiting == the process of creating "viral" content.

are there any examples of link baiting? Is it just submitting good content that people will want to link to?

I heard digg is a good place to look for ideas if you want to develop some linkbait.

Thanks to all of you :) Can you please tell me what is clocking?

[rainier]

refers to a placement on a website for the strict purpose of tempting other web pages to link to that website. Link baiting is a viral marketing form, and can be extremely powerful, as it draws traffic to a website without keyword searches or specific searches for that web page. Anything can be link bait, as long as it causes links to be built to the web page and draws visitors to the page.
