This is one of those things that will remain “white hat” until people start abusing it. I am sure within a year or two it will be in the same basket as google bomb.

Matt, I saw Vlad’s comment above about article marketing via EzineArticles.com. 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

I was looking at this method for generating some interest in an old domain, that only recently had content put on it (shocking isn’t it!? – a ten year old domain that never had a website on it…what a waste). 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.

Hi – can link baiting work in porn? 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

At the time the original entry was written I think link baiting, while beginning to gain popularity, was still kind of a secondary tool to build links. Today it has to be considered the primary, and if done properly, the most effective method out there. Way to be ahead of the curve!

Link baiting is more than just lists, you have to do something big, something that would make you feel like you have win on lotto

There are several WordPress plugins that can auto-generate content for link-baiting. However I observe from pro bloggers that good keyword research and then creating original quality content is still the best way to go.

Matt,

I know Google has a specific page which talks about proper linking strategies and I can’t seem to find it again. 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!
