Hi friends,
I have doubt about Link Baiting.
Can anyone tell about it?

martinsherman · 04-16-2013, 05:58 AM

Link Baiting is any content or feature, within a website, designed specifically to gain attention or encourage others to link to the website.

Matt Cutts defines link bait as anything "interesting enough to catch people's attention." Link bait can be an extremely powerful form of marketing as it is viral in nature. The term often has a negative or dismissive connotation. The content for link baiting would be a text, image, audio or video clip and it interesting enough to catch people’s attention.

link baiting where it tempts you to link the site.

Link Bait refers to a placement of a link on a website for the purpose of tempting other web pages to link to that site.

Link bait is kind of black hat technique. I suggest you to take safe distance with any black hat tactics.

Link bait is content on your site to which other sites link because they want to, not because you ask them to. Traditionally, links are hard to get, requiring you to sacrifice your first born child (and at least link back, which nullifies their value in some search engines.) But with link bait, you “bait” your content and sit back and wait. Of course, you can be a little proactive …

Link bait is a piece of content placed on a web page - whether it's a useful article, a unique blog post, picture, that people react to by linking to or sharing with others.

It is essentially a piece of content placed on a web page - whether it's an article, blog post, picture, or any other section of cyberspace - that is designed for the specific intention of gathering links from as many different sources as possible.

Linkbaiting is the process of creating an interesting newsworthy topic keeping SEO techniques in mind and post it on popular social media channels. This content/ feature acts as a bait and encourages others to link to it. There is nothing unethical in it and hence Google won't penalize you for it.
