Linkbaiting, 2.0
Suggestions for further reading on how to reel ‘em in
A few weeks back we published a guest column by search scenester and SEOmoz CEO, Rand Fishkin, about the art and science of “linkbait“—i.e., “content on a web site that targets link-friendly audiences such as bloggers, news sites and social media aggregation portals” in order to gain links, attract viewers and help improve in search rankings (and maybe even your CTR).
The piece turned out to be a pretty darn good example of linkbaiting itself, creating buzz across the blogosphere and gaining beaucoup trackbacks and in-links from enthusiastic publishers. One trackbacker, D-Blogged, even put together an “Ultimate Guide to Linkbaiting Resources” that we thought might come in handy for those of you interested in further developing your own linkbaiting strategies.
Take me to the Ultimate Guide »
Props to D-Blog for all the hard work.
