    It is a process of creating great content to attract links. The two key components in link baiting are "lots of great content" and "social media". Of course, your content also needs to be optimized for your target keyword phrases so that the search engines know how to index it.

    It is a process of attracting links to your site. I will give an example.
    1. If you are having a web designing site, you can offer free web templates to download. The templates will have a link to your website. You will get a free link when someone use your template in their website.

    It's like keyword stuffing so you create a exact relevant keyword to withdraw an attention from your visitors

    Link bait is any content or feature, within a website, designed specifically to gain attention or encourage others to link to the website. The content for link baiting would be a text, image, audio or video clip and it interesting enough to catch the people’s attention.

    Link bait is essentially a piece of content placed on a web page - whether it's an article, blog post, picture, or any other section - that is designed for the specific intention of gathering links from as many different sources.

    Link bait is any content or feature, within a website, designed specifically to gain attention or encourage others to link to the website. Matt Cutts defines link bait as anything "interesting enough to catch people's attention. Link bait can be an extremely powerful form of marketing as it is viral in nature. The term often has a negative or dismissive connotation. The content for link baiting would be a text, image, audio or video clip and it interesting enough to catch the people’s attention.

    Link baiting is creating very exiting, very unique, or even controversial contents to attract other site/blog owners to link to those contents. That way we can get many free backlinks.

    Baitng from its name we can get an idea about it. So we can think that to attract more traffic by giving some spicy , some unique name to the link or ancher text but that word has no relation in actual :p
