What is Linkbait ?

by praveen 2010-01-23 14:55:36

Linkbait refers to content that is created with the aim of getting people to link to it. A component of search engine optimization and marketing, linkbaits work to increase search and referral traffic to a site and eventually sales or ad revenue, if it is monetized.

Usually developed in the form of a thought provoking or entertaining article, a useful application or a list of helpful resources, linkbaits work best when they add value to visitors to the web site.

This is because visitors are likely to link to something when the webpage is perceived as interesting or relevant to their own website or audience.
