What is Link Bait?

Linkbait is essentially a piece of content placed on a web page - whether it's an article, blog post, picture, or any other section of cyberspace - that is designed for the specific intention of gathering links from as many different sources as possible. This is a good way to attract lot of visitors.

Here is a list of ideas:

  • Make a valuable resource (lists, special reports, history of, how to, etc.)
  • Interview (e-mail/phone) prominent people and publish it. 
  • Build a useful tool

  • Be the first in doing something on the internet
  • Write something controversial
  • Be the first to write the latest news in your niche

  • Disagree with an authority
  • Write some funny humor

  • Make a tool that others can put on their sites but that links to you 
  • Make a joke about a known person
  • Make a resource that is just in time for a major event
