Best Linkbaiting Techniques

December 2nd, 2009 | Posted in SEO

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 here to argue the ‘ethics” of linkbaiting techniques, but to offer what I feel are the five best “white-hat” linkbaiting techniques to use in your writing.

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.

Let them hear it from you first-Be the first to break the “big” story. Stay on the cutting edge. Subscribe to magazines, trade journals, or any source of up-to-the-minute happenings in your niche. Try to be the one who gives them “the scoop”.

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.

Give a list of needed links-Tell your visitors where they can find more quality information on the subject of your post. Save them from having to Google it and search through the results. Make your list (the best it can be!)

Everyone likes free stuff-Give it away-and they will come. Not only that they will tell their friends about it!

If you consistently use these linkbaiting techniques in your writings, whether posts, articles, or whatever you could start to see this type of back links begin to show up with regularity. And from a seo perspective (and in the eyes of Google) this type of link is about the best you can get!
