    Creating a web page that is so interesting and useful that visitors to this page want to share its contents with others by putting a link on their website(s) or bookmarking it for others to see. If a page encourages visitors to do this then it could be considered decent "link bait".

    I think it's simple as baiting or capturing your viewer's attention to link to you. A common example is by having unique, useful and quality content in your site. You give webmasters reason to link to you because of the useful information you are posting in your site.

    Just a matter of creating great content that is link worthy. If you have content that others find interesting or useful they will tend to share it.

    Link baiting as something motivating sufficient to catch Visitor’s attention, and that doesn’t have to be a shocking thing.

    Link bait (or linkbait) refers to anything on a website that encourages links from other websites. It can include content, online tools, downloads, or anything else that another site owner might find compelling enough to link to.

    The quantity and quality of inbound links are two of the many metrics used by a search engine ranking algorithm to rank a website. Link bait creation falls under the task of link building, and aims to increase the quantity of high-quality, relevant links to a website.
