The secret to link baiting is to create something a piece that almost has a personality something thats going to come out and literally grab the user into it. When you grab the user you got them in your control and it can be done very easily, but you have to think of how you can do this.

Tips on Creating the Art of Link Bait

• Videos: If at all possible and its applicable use a viral video. I’ve seen some amazing stuff done with videos I’ve even drawn some major attention through videos.
• Images: Of course use images, use images that are related to your post. Images bring that creativeness look out.
• Creative Writing: Try to use creative writing if at all possible. When you write try to write with creativeness the idea is to attach your audience into your piece.
• The Title: Use a interesting title, try to use something that will guide your audience into reading your piece if you can pursued the mind into your piece your in the game, but keep in mind you got to keep that piece looking like an art of its own.

What drives people into linking to you?

• News: News is always a good thing to release if you have done something interesting or know of something that is interesting and you think its going to create major buzz in the web 2.0 space then write about it just drive people nuts over it.
• Controversy: Create controversy through the web 2.0 space be careful don’t create controversy in the wrong manner I’d have to say I’ve done this a few times, but then again depends on where you create the controversy at I’ve created some major controversy that has created buzz, but it happen on accident and most generally stuff like that does happen on accident, but then again practice and you’ll get it.
• Contrary: Create contrary this could lead to a controversy effect in a way. If you disagree with something, but every one else is agreeing disagree as soon as you disagree your in the game now its up to you to take over from this point on.
• Humor: This can be very effective, but then again depends on what niche your in generally humor hooks happen on You Tube and similar sites to that nature.

How do you promote your link bait?

• PPC (Pay Per Click): You can use pay per click to promote link bait through, it will be costly, but if you have the money go for it and start driving your art down that channel and see what type of results you get.
• Social Network: You can use social networks such as Forums, Digg, Reddit, and etc to promote your link bait. I know I have created major buzz in forums like Digital Point and etc and didn’t even mean to I got one thread locked actually a quite of few of them locked because so many people were replying and at the same time it was making my feed go up, so social networks can be effective of course specially Digg you got to have one hell of a title to get it though.
• News Sites: Do you have something that will catch large news sites attention if so send it to the editors and try to grab there attention. I mean just think of way you can grab there attention. The idea is to get them to write about it with out them even realizing what your doing. Next thing you know you got ever major news sites writing about you and your link bait.

Promoting your link bait should be pretty simple you just got to find out what works for you and work it. I’ve heard people telling me PPC has worked for them on certain occasions, so there numerous ways of promoting it. If you already have a community built up on your site then you got it made because when you have the community already built its a lot easier of getting links and promoting link bait because you already have 1000’s of people seeing your craft.
