Best 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!
Creating content that prompts one-way in-coming links from other webmasters is not only complimentary but also a “vote” of confidence that Google cannot ignore.
The methods you use to try and get people to link to your content is only limited by your imagination, and some will stop at nothing in order to succeed, hence the bad rap linkbaiting has gotten in some circles.
I’m not here to argue the ‘ethics” of linkbaiting techniques, but to offer what I feel are the five best “white-hat” linkbaiting techniques to use in your writing.
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!
Be the first to break a story in your niche-Difficult to do, but very effective in getting incoming links! Stay up-to-date on what’s going on in your niche, stay on the cutting edge! Give your readers the scoop!
Provide a useful tool or software-By doing this you will get backlinks, there is little doubt about it! Even if you can’t produce the tool or software yourself you can buy it or pay someone to produce it for you. The more needed and useful the tool or software the more links it will generate for your site.
Give a list of needed links-Tell your visitors where they can find more quality information on the subject of your post. Save them from having to Google it and search through the results. Make your list (the best it can be!)
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!
