I'm a SEO & SEM consultant, doing this for several years. I notice that in my country (and I'm sure not only in mine) more and more seo & sem consultants are using their clients site to put a link back to their site without nofollow attribute. I conducted several case studies and i saw that a lot from the seo & sem consultants sites have over 50 or 75% banklinks from clients. I've never put a link back to my site from a client site, so, for the people that are playing the game like me this is upsetting, because we can see this seo sites that are getting higher sometimes or for a lot of time. Why Google didn't implement something or got this sites link back to manual evaluation or Google is happy with this ? Should i post a link back on all my clients sites to my seo site (I would like not to do) ? Should i provide my case study to Google regarding this (And How to, if yes) ? Best Regards, Alin Hi Matt,

I go out of my way to write tutorials on my site just to get people to link to it. Reason 1: to teach people, Reason 2: to get links to my site. I don't see anything wrong with it.

It seems that Google doesn't mind it but I'm wondering what your take is. It seems to me that if you write a good article, then EZA will accept it, so it meets their standards, which is why they have a lot of people linking to them. So it naturally works out just fine if you write content that is good and worth something. Thanks, -Tony Matt, I saw Vlad’s comment above about article marketing via EzineArticles.com.

However, I feel link-baiting seems like an 'underhand' technique, or maybe that is just the general feel of that name (sounds like jail-baiting!). Are there any good SEO techniques beyond this to help my situation? Thanks for any insight.

I find that a sites page that was setup for link bait does well in serp's but it does not get any links simply because thats the way things are in adult. Can you suggest anything for people who write about adult to get link backs by link baiting? Thanks Hi – can link baiting work in porn?
