Linkbaiting Tips
If you’ve tried linkbaiting, you know what a traffic and ranking windfall it can be – and you also know how difficult it can be as well. Don’t let anyone tell you that SEO hasn’t gotten harder over the past five or six years – it has. As the web evolves and new SEO strategies are developed, old tactics lose steam. Linkbaiting is one of those new strategies taking place of old standards that don’t work well anymore. I wish I remember where I read it but an SEOer recently said ‘Linkbaiting is the new reciprocal linking’. Unfortunately, pulling off a successful linkbaiting campaign is not nearly as easy as trading links. To help you out, check out the article ‘Golden Rules of Linkbaiting’ on smashingmagazine.com (a web development blog). The article covers the basics of linkbaiting and provides some good tips that help maximize the chances of making a link popular. Smashing Magazine is not an SEO resource so it’s interesting to see linkbaiting techniques move from SEO to the wider world of general website promotion.
