I'm kicking myself for not bookmarking it properly. Can someone help? This is great material, I'm devouring it all and hope it helps our ranking. Thanks for all the great tips! Ed Matt,

I believe the negative connotation of "link-baiting" comes from putting the emphasis on the wrong thing. It sounds like you care more about getting links than <strong>adding value</strong> with whatever you create. Having said that, I do link-baiting and support those who do it properly. By properly I mean doing both, creating valuable content and formatting it in a way that it attracts good links. Three years later and the discussion still goes on :) This is fantastic.

The nightly news has been using it as a teaser during the day to get you to watch their newscast.

He will take a funny phrase like "sexiest man in (city name)" and within 3-4 hours his blog article will rank #1 in google for that search term. Does google frown upon these activities or not?

"They wouldn't" So hopefully someone could put that type of article in the cyber trash can where it belongs. Seams to me It’s all about intent, If your intent is selfish “monitary gain”
