Linkbait as an SEO tactics

    Have you ever used blog linkbaiting? What results have you got?

    Two times I did it as a main promotion technique, I've jumpstarted blogs for PR4 and PR5 in one month or less, with only free, permanent, natural links.

    I see the downside that not many niches can be linkbaited effectively.

    What do you think?

    Linkbait is a nice technique, but you have to understand the crowd psychology. With blogs I found it useful to eg attack authorities acknowledged by the community. It's not only a linkbait, but a flamebait (which you can control, since it takes place on your blog) as well. :)
    This doesn't work for all sites and can get pretty tedious when repeated, so you have to come up with more linkbaiting techniques.

    Linkbait is great and could generate you hundreds of backlinks for free.
    It's not very easy to write linkbait content but the results are definitely worth it.

    What is your niche? Most likely, I can provide a sound advice (either short and free... or profound and paid :evil: )

    Linkbait is a good link building technique that need a lot of persuasive and writing skills. the most important thing for linkbait is content and how to catch attention and arouse the curiousity of the reader to click your link. Great art of works sure will get great result. ^^
