So, do you linkbait? I bet you do and you don’t even know it. If you don’t know, linkbaiting is a general term that is used to describe ways that you use to generate links back to your blog. In a way it is like trying to get a backlink in reverse.

For instance, you decide to run a contest on your blog about giving away one million dollars and you make a post about it. As other people read this post they are going to write about it on their blog. When they post and link back to your contest piece, then you have just completed a successful linkbait. Then all of the readers of these blogs will send new(hopefully) readers to you. It gives you a great boost in traffic.

While most linkbait techniques are good natured and acceptable, some have developed ways that are just downright nasty. Let’s say Blogger A makes a post about Blogger B that he wears pink underwear :o Then Blogger B touts back with his post that Blogger A(link) is crazy because he is allergic to pink :)  When this happens Blogger A has just completed a linkbait, although he was not very nice to Blogger B to achieve this :(

I believe that linkbait is a very viable way to get traffic to your site, if it is used responsibly. Darren Rowse over at ProBlogger.net has a nice list of linkbait techniques that you should checkout and try too.

I hope this post was of help to you and your Internet business and as always feel free to leave a comment or ask a question, your input is greatly appreciated.
