Hi,

From what I understand, link baiting is a way to get other sites to link to your blog or website. There are different ‘hooks’, or ways to bait them into making this link and giving you exposure:

  • the Resource hook: a list of blogs in a niche, a How To guide, or a list of resources
  • the News hook: get to the news first…
  • the Contrary hook: be the only one in your niche to find something to not like about a story, or like about a story/product.
  • the Humor hook: These kinds of hooks are just too easy.
    • Search flickr, or photoshop a bizzare pic of your subject
    • Post “10 thing i hate about…”
    • Post “You know you’re a when…” Funny thing is, those things always get links, it’s like people never seem to tire of them.

Good luck!
