    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.

    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.

    As per my understanding goes a bait is basically the hook or the fishing bait used to attract the fishes similar to the fundamentals of link building. Thus a link bait is the exclusive advertisement of and incredible offer to gather links. Am I right?

    link bait is one of the great ways to get inbound links. It is something on your website, which naturally attracts backlinks pages.it the other is not widely used or understood term, and a Google search gives only a few specialized sites on the basis of SEO. There is no single definition link Rendered.

    The quantity and quality of inbound links are two of the many metrics used by a search engine to rank a website. Link bait can be conisdered as being a part of link building, and aims to increase the quantity of high-quality, relevant links to a website. It is considered to be a white hat search engine optimisation (SEO) method almost universally.

    Here's what I've read about link baiting:

    link baiting is merely one of link-building strategies that means getting backlinks due to stunning, mind-blowing content as opposed to trading or purchasing them. Link baiting is creating some scandalous, breath-taking content that would make people share it via different social media, linking to it, posting it on their blogs, thus triggering a chain reaction on the Web.

    The beauty of link-baiting is that, besides attracting a flood of natural one-way links to your site, it also brings a fair amount of direct traffic. Are you seeing the big picture yet? Link baiting is good for both – SEO as such and Internet marketing in general. Plus, successful link bait may keep on getting you links and traffic long after it was launched, which means its results are more long-lasting.
