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
Writing content that is so perfect and so complete that it entices one-way incoming links from others…well, I for one love when that happens!
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.
I’m not writing this article to argue the ethics of linkbaiting, but to give what I feel are the five best techniques you can use for getting some of those links.
Here are my five best linkbaiting techniques (all white-hat too!):
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.
Offer a free tool or piece of software-Give them a good reason to come back to your site, bookmark it, and share your link with others. even if you are unable to produce this tool or software yourself, you can always find someone to do it for you.
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!
Give things away-Free stuff is always a hit! The more value you give away the more value you will receive in return.
Put these techniques to work for you in most every thing you write, posts, articles, etc. and you will begin to find back links showing up with regularity. Remember these kind of unsolicited, natural back links are some of the most valuable links there are!
