    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.

    Hello s_kumar:cool:
    Link baiting, or link bait, is a technique used by Web content creators to encourage other Internet users to link to their site or page. It's generally considered part of SEO, or search engine optimization-marketing strategies used to boost a website's prominence in search engines, such as Google. Link baiting is a legitimate way to promote content, although like any SEO technique, it is open to abuse.

    I hope i was able to explain this..

    Link bait has become a negative term in the world of SEO however it means at its barest element to generate content which will attract links from others to your site. This is done in many ways: blog writing, article writing, and content in general. PM me for more information

    it's just similar to any baiting - so link baiting is to create something (content - text/graphic) that helps in generating links to your site.
    ex:
    Infographics
    Controversial stories
    Guest posts
    Contest
