Linkbait: The Art Of Social Persuasion

The modern ways of SEO travel the Linkbait road. As Google’s almost official spokesman said more than a year ago, the key to obtain good search engine rankings is to get the attention of the blogosphere.

How do you capture the attention of the Blogosphere?

With succesful linkbait campaigns.

Linkbait refers to the art of baiting other websites to link to your own domains. This can be done by a combination of great content and community engagement. When done right Linkbait SEO can be many times more explosive than traditional link building.

A succesful linkbait campaign will put your website out there, right in the middle of the most popular online communities and blogs. It can drive tens of thousands of visits to your website and get thousands of quality backlinks. All of which would have taken months of traditional link building. Not to mention a higher budget.
