Building Link Baits and Communities
Building link baits and communities is not a simple task, it takes time and encouragement. I think the thing is some people think that you can just automatically spit the content out there and expect to get links well this is not guaranteed. Which yes its happen, but its rare some of the best viral marketers out there fail time after time before they actually get it right. I wouldn’t consider it as failing, but its just not something you can say hey lets do this and its going to turn out like this it just don’t work that way.
Which yes there is content that hits the front page all the time on Digg and people don’t do it on purpose or anything its just something they wrote up, but if you notice a lot of the content that does hit Digg front page of Digg is from websites that have a strong community built up, and that right there is the best way to getting links and etc.
The idea is to build the community up first, and then leverage the community into links and sales. When you have the community built up its a lot easier to promote your content through social networks and to get people to Digg stuff because you have 1000’s of viewers reading your content. Thats another reason why a lot of popular news site have a lot of community driven traffic is because they have a strong community already built and it gives them leverage for building social networks and creating more media.
Just give it some thought
