Link Baiting
I often hear about link baiting - what is it? It’s about the hooks you give another person to want to link back to their site. It’s an on-line way to form relationships with your fellow bloggers.
Here’s 6 ideas where you can get hooks from. These are articles or postings you would put in your blog to get other bloggers to link to or from.
1. News - it always sells good news or bad news it’s your choice.
2. Contrary - you write about something or hope to get someone to post something opposite to what your opinion or point is.
3. Attack - Something that is totally opposite of what you believe to be true. (I don’t think you want to go there)
4. Resources - write about a resource that would help your readers, subscribers or information that you can direct people to.
5. Humour - Everyone likes a good clean joke or story. Life itself is humorous in itself.
6. Incentives - Give an incentive to subscribe to your site or someone else’s site, share with other bloggers.
Spend a few hours researching what will work for you the best or do all of them and test what seems to show up for you the most.
It’s easy to get side-tracked with all the information and resources that are available to you online. Sometimes, it’s just best to book mark it and come back later. If you don’t get back to what you have book-marked - well, I guess it really wasn’t important for you.
