Link bait is good I can see the benefits, but this is the question I am trying to figure out. Say you put your page and it does its job and gets a bunch of links. Do these links just affect that specific page or will it affect your site as a whole?
i've been concentrating 70% of my time on deep-linking now that my index is 'healthy' in terms of backlinks. overall i aim for deep-linking to make my overall site look good in search engines.
