Try These Linkbaiting Techniques
Linkbaiting is is something we (webmasters) do whether we realize it or not! We all try (hopefully) to write compelling, high quality content, that deserves to get linked to. So when you get one of those completely “natural” back links, I mean, it just doesn’t get any better than that does it? It always brings a smile to my face!
Producing content that prompts other webmasters to want to tell the world they need to visit your site, is the very best form of flattery to my way of thinking!
Linkbaiting has gotten a bad rap lately (because of the lengths some will go to in order to elicit back links.) It’s always best to linkbait by just writing the best, most compelling content you can.
I’m not writing this article to argue the ethics of linkbaiting, but to give what I feel are the five best techniques you can use for getting some of those links.
So without further adu, here are my five favorite linkbaiting techniques:
Create the best content-Cover your topic better than anyone else has! Become the ultimate resource for information on your topic. Use video, images, and audio in your posts. Make your content useful, provocative, attention grabbing, provide real value to your readers, make them want to link to your content!
Let them hear it from you first-Be the first to break the “big” story. Stay on the cutting edge. Subscribe to magazines, trade journals, or any source of up-to-the-minute happenings in your niche. Try to be the one who gives them “the scoop”.
Provide a free tool or piece of software-This can really make the back links show up! If you are unable (like me!) to produce the tool or software, you can always buy it or pay someone to code it for you. The more useful and “used” the tool or software the more links it will generate.
Provide a list of links to high value sites or resources-Give your visitors links to more info, or more resources on your niche. Try to make your list the most complete, or the very best list available, try to stand out for the pack!
Everyone likes free stuff-Give it away-and they will come. Not only that they will tell their friends about it!
Put these techniques to work for you in most every thing you write, posts, articles, etc. and you will begin to find back links showing up with regularity. Remember these kind of unsolicited, natural back links are some of the most valuable links there are!
