thank u.........

 

Heres another good resource for link baiting: http://www.searchenginejournal.com/?p=2797

 

Basically content that will make people want to link to it. That simple.

 

Well any good article can get links, if it's unique. But link-bait is really, the way I understand it, the type of article, or gadget, or picture or whatever that people will really, really, really like - and therefore easily link to.

 

It's like catching fish You through the bait out and hope some webmasters will bite with a few links.

Check out textlinkads to what they offer for this service... Quite expensive though.

Link Bait

 

Here's an example of my idea of link bait:

Exactly what Subzero, kh7, and Dfischer said - it's whatever might motivate others to link back to you. It doesn't have to be something they like - it can be something they don't like also.

 

Here is another idea:

I guess just like anything, you need to get a bit of interest in your item to get it started is to go out and promote your Link bait url somewhat to get it started.

So, If I wanted to use something like http://photoblog.shrinkpictures.com/index.php?showimage=231 as the bait, I just need to get a few people visiting the site, and hoping it goes viral?

 

Basically, yes.
