Linkbaiting is something most, if not all, webmasters do-whether they realize it or not! Who doesn't want their content linked to? Backlinks are a good thing, and getting them without any extra effort on your part should always brings a smile to your fac
Creating content that prompts one-way in-coming links from other webmasters is not only complimentary but also a "vote" of confidence that Google cannot ignore.
Linkbaiting has gotten a bad rap lately (because of the lengths some will go to in order to elicit back links.) It's always best to linkbait by just writing the best, most compelling content you can.
The "ethics" of linkbaiting aside, I would like to offer what I feel are the five best techniques for getting other webmasters to link to your content.
So without further adu, here are my five favorite linkbaiting techniques:
Create compelling content-Create content that begs to be linked to. Cover your topic completely, become the ultimate online resource for your chosen topic, include video, audio, and images in your content. Provide real value for your readers, try to produce content that is attention grabbing, unique, provocative, and just plain useful to your visitors.
Be the first-Break the "big" story in your niche. This can be very effective in getting some of those back links. Always stay up-to-date on the happenings in your niche, be on the "cutting edge" of anything that's new or ground breaking in your niche.
Provide a free tool or piece of software-This can really make the back links show up! If you are unable (like me!) to produce the tool or software, you can always buy it or pay someone to code it for you. The more useful and "used" the tool or software the more links it will generate.
Provide a list of links to high value sites or resources-Give your visitors links to more info, or more resources on your niche. Try to make your list the most complete, or the very best list available, try to stand out for the pack!
Everyone likes free stuff-Give it away-and they will come. Not only that they will tell their friends about it!
If you consistently use these linkbaiting techniques in your writings, whether posts, articles, or whatever you could start to see this type of back links begin to show up with regularity. And from a seo perspective (and in the eyes of Google) this type of link is about the best you can get! - 29970
