If you have a web site you will probably already know getting
\nquality one-way link is the key to getting more traffic and
\nhigher rankings, but getting those links is easier said than done.
\nHowever, there is one very effective technique which has proven
\nthe test of time and one you should be using.
\n
\n
\nWe are talking about LinkBait.<\/strong>
\n
\n
\nSimply put: linkbait is any content which is so intriguing\/informative\/useful
\nother webmasters and surfers will gladly share it with their
\nfriends and colleagues. Actually, linkbait can be many things:
\n
\n
\n– an informative article <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

– a useful software program<\/strong><\/p>\n

– a handy ebook or report<\/strong><\/p>\n

– a YouTube video<\/strong><\/p>\n

– a special seo tool<\/strong><\/p>\n

– an amusing blog post<\/strong>
\n
\n
\nor just a well constructed web page which your visitors find
\nespecially helpful or interesting.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Whenever I think of LinkBait, I always compare it to “word of mouth”
\nadvertising. Something that is spread virally throughout the
\ncommunity and in this case, on the web. Never underestimate the
\ntrue marketing power of this kind of advertising and promotion.<\/p>\n

From my own experiences, I first discovered the instant overnight
\npower when someone bookmarked one of my web pages in Digg and
\nit landed on the first page. I received over 70,000 visitors
\nin one day and gathered numerous quality one-way links from
\naround the web.<\/p>\n

While these visitors were temporary and relatively “useless”
\n– the seo efforts were long-lasting and very beneficial.
\nNo visitor to your site is useless but these visitors were
\nnot my usual keyword driven traffic which buy my affiliate
\nproducts or sign up to my lists.<\/p>\n

However this incident showed me why using LinkBait is a very
\neffective way to get traffic. And since that time I try to
\nplace the simple “Addthis” button<\/b> on all my content – to easily
\nlet my visitors bookmark the material in all the social bookmarking
\nsites.
\n
\n
\nThis is an easy way to make all your pages LinkBait.<\/b>
\n
\n
\nAnother important thing about using LinkBait – Google loves it.
\nMainly because it fits in with Google’s original ranking philosophy
\nand system where web users vote democratically on which content should
\nbe ranked the highest. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is content recommended by other web users and content which
\nthey find helpful, informative or entertaining.<\/p>\n

Matt Cutts explains and gives an example in a YouTube video
\nwhich in itself is a form of linkbait. You can view the
\nvideo here to get more ideas on this topic:<\/p>\n

In addition, for some time I have been including in these
\nemails some links to helpful SEO tools. This is an obvious
\nform of LinkBait.<\/p>\n

Here’s another helpful SEO Optimization Tool which helps you write
\nor correct your HTML code to better rank in the search engines.<\/p>\n

If you’re not already using some forms of LinkBait – give it a try
\nand see the results for yourself.<\/p>\n
