    So for my website, which is in my sig, I contacted EA Sports requesting some information regarding one of their game series, Madden. They were very thankful for me getting to them and making the suggestion that they sent out tweets and Facebook posts all over the place. I also got blog posts on some of the professional teams' websites and blog!

    Here is the Facebook link:

    My traffic had a huge increase because of this.

    Haha, I am. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the traffic I received came from the Facebook post, which doesn't affect SEO or anything for me, and nobody will see it after today. I hope it stays active for awhile, though!

    Congrats! Good marketing for both you and EA. Using social for a link bait strategy is a great tactic I have been using

    Baiting people to link to your site =) things like infographics and other ideas to get people to link naturally instead of paying

    Good for you and it's good tactic.

    Just the name suggests, link bait is a tactic to bait people to link to your site.

    Wow thats awesome! I didn't know EA could be this generous. But then again, their sports department is having issues on its own.

    I don't know, after seeing all that traffic, it's hard to believe they're having issues.

    That is great, I once had Microsoft link to one of my websites from their help section. It was great.

    Madden is a huge franchise, so I can see this getting many views. Facebook is a great medium to post this stuff too. Congrats! :D
