I ask this because I saw many of link-bait articles are on some funny/hobby/politic topics. I wonder if some business niche which seems formal like a real estate, web hosting, credit card can have a link-bait articles. What do you think? I think it's almost not possible.
Yes, link baiting has no limits. Certain niches are harder than others, you'll find that humor is the easiest way to create link bait, and yes you can use humor with all niches.
The only limits are your imagination. Be creative and consider that your main target audience is webmasters & bloggers - after all, those are the people who own websites and therefore can link to your site.
It's quite easily possible with good creative knowledge and ability. Obviously the type of link-bait will change with each industry. For example when it comes to link-bait relating to credit cards, articles which show interesting facts or figures may be more effective than humorous stories.
Its definitely possible, unless you have some tiny niche that only 10 people in the entire world care about.
Link Baiting is just like fishing. You publish a new page on a topic and set it free on the web. Hopefully others pick up on the content as fresh and interesting and link to it. The article is the bait, and the link is the catch.
There is space for creativity in every field..and sky is the limit if someone really want to implement..Its just we didn't do in specific field doesn't mean its not possible. harshakiran - it is achievable man..For sure you too can do it..just about interest and putting your mind through.
How many of you write articles yourself and how many successfully outsource this task? How many articles are you putting out?
