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!

Producing content that prompts other webmasters to want to tell the world they need to visit your site, is the very best form of flattery to my way of thinking!

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 writing this article to argue the ethics of linkbaiting, but to give what I feel are the five best techniques you can use for getting some of those links.

Here are my five best linkbaiting techniques (all white-hat too!):

Write content that is the best "out there" on your chosen topic. Make your content compelling, unique, attention grabbing, provocative, and make sure it provides real, useful, value for your visitors.

Be the first-Break the "big" story in your niche. This can be very effective in getting some of those back links. Always stay up-to-date on the happenings in your niche, be on the "cutting edge" of anything that’s new or ground breaking in your niche.

Provide a free tool or piece of software-This can really make the back links show up! If you are unable (like me!) to produce the tool or software, you can always buy it or pay someone to code it for you. The more useful and "used" the tool or software the more links it will generate.

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!

Use these techniques, and use them consistently as you write your content, wether it’s blog posts, articles, website content, etc. and you will find your offerings linked to more and more often. And naturally occurring backlinks are the best kind!
