Have you heard about Link baiting a lot in the SEO world? Not sure what is exactly is or how does it work? Then this is the perfert article for you as it explains Link baiting in complete details. Link Baiting 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. (It will gather links when people will get interested in it and link to your site!)

Link Baiting types can be divided into:

1. Latest Content

In today’s world, everyone is news hungry. Looking for latest and current news or one that is interesting. If you can post one such article/content on your site and are able to publicize the link to enough people, then you have great chances of people linking to you. The more interesting article, the more chances of getting links back from people.

2. Controversial Content

If you can write a good article or content that posts a controversial viewpoint on something that is already big in media, then you will get link automatically! People are just hungry for controversies and believe anything so easily. But remember the content should not be too extreme to be true.

3. Humorous content

Humor, as they say, is the best medicine. In our case too, if you could get a funny story, picture, video and other thing humorous and are able to publish it across large number of sites, then your work is done my friend! You will surely have 100’s of backlinks from that ONE piece of content!

4. Attacking content

This is not recommended but still done! It’s about attacking someone or someone’s content. This surely generates heated arguments and comments and grabs attention of the people. When people get notice of you, they will post about you and thus you will have links! However, this might end up badly and can have bad consequences and hence is not recommended. But as said, people can go to any limits for publicity in today’s world!

So is Link Baiting good?

Of course! Link Baiting is a way of getting natural links and hence it’s the best way! That way, search engines won’t ever punish you for too many backlinks. Also you get traffic from links and hence it’s good for your revenue. However, the only advice that I would like to give is, don’t go to extremes to get links. ANY extremes always have risk.
