    Hey everyone,
    My recent project needs original, unique or just plain effective link baiting ideas and strategies.
    More specifically, it is for an Australia credit card affiliate site.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate, great ones will receive rep!

    I hate to ask this on your thread but atleast you get it bumped back up.

    What is link baiting?
    I got a green rep for the answer.

    Thanks in advance!

    Link Baiting is the term used to describe content (usually a video or list) that others actively link to. It's generally just a good way to build lotsa links in a hurry and thus increase your sites ranking, popularity, and traffic...although not always targeted.

    Check out about 50% of Digg's front page to get an idea of what Link Bait is.

    Link baiting is just a form of viral marketing. You'll be linked to because people are interested in what you've posted, be it video/audio/text.
