Link Baiting and SEO

Link baiting if as it sounds. It is about providing the bait that makes people want to link to you, just like you create the bait to attract a fish. The fish in this case is another webmaster who you hope will put a link on his or her website: A one-way link.

So how can you make others want to link to your site? It is all about content which is genuinely of real interest to people. If you specialise in wines and can explain a lot to people about the English wine market, information which others do not offer and which really does offer an interesting insight, then you might get people point a link at your site. Big companies such as airlines manage to get thousands of links as a result of link baiting. A business such as Cardiff International Arena get numerous people link to them without having to ask. Exactly what content you can write for link baiting you will need to think long and hard about. If it works for you though it will be effective.
