You might be left to wander where the missing link is after you have exhausted all ideas and resources- to attract maximum traffic to your website, to get the top rankings on search engines, to get those elusive backlinks you always desired. Instead of sweating over what went wrong, you could look a little further and find quick-fix solutions to get instant backlinks to your website. Think of Link baiting.

What the hell is Linkbait?

What is Link baiting? It can mean the creation of something so interesting and catchy that it instantly grabs the attention of the online world. In this reference one can take the example of odd-ball websites spreading rumors of celebrities meeting with tragic accidents just to create that buzz around one’s website. As the fake news is spread, more and more people logon to the website looking for proof of the news. Methods like this become a mean of naturally attracting backlinks for the web page by getting people to talk about it, discussing it on forums, blogging about it and posting it on del.icio.us/Digg and linking to it from their sites. This in turn attracts a lot of visitors.

How do you create LinkBaits?

What could you do to create this Linkbait? Linkbaits are easy once you have an idea in place and are willing to think out of the box in a much more creative manner than you are used to. Make your website a valuable resource where people would love to revisit for content which is not available elsewhere.

Post an interview of a well known personality

Imagine your website posting an exclusive official interview of someone like Matt Cutts or Steven Spielberg. Obviously the amount of buzz created would instantly bring tons of traffic to your website. Always remember that you to provide the visitors with something that wouldn’t be available elsewhere and they would be happy to share it with others. People love to show off, so give them something they can show off to others.

Create a Useful tool

Another way of creating buzz with your website would be to create a tool that would be highly useful to the visitors. Something they would love to download and use. This would help in building the credibility of your website and mark it as a provider of useful information and tools to others. Go a step further and start writing about interesting topics which have the potential of becoming topics of hot conversations and debates in the discussion forums. Submit these write-ups or articles to the best article submission websites to gain even more backlinks.

Run a Contest

Contests have always been a great way to attract all kinds of visitors to a website. Remember that whatever you are creating should be capable of being a newsworthy event. From an Official Blogger contest to the Fan of the day, try to make it as engaging as possible.
Do something which no one has ever done before
One of the best ways to get backlinks to your website is by doing something which would a first-of-it’s-kind on the internet. People are always ready to experience and share something which has not been done before online. What more, you could even try being controversial (refer to the Johnny Depp story above) because controversy always creates buzz and catches attention.

Be Outrageous

Disagree with an authority figure, be the first to catch a spammer, write something funny or witty about the latest in technology or something related to the social media circle, make a joke about a known person (not recommended). You can even try being outrageous with your theories related to the most technical of stuff by dumbing it down a 100 notches. Become a part of the most happening discussions and forums and post your website links there. You could even try giving valuable information for free because free stuff is always welcome.

Become an Subject matter expert

Nothing works like becoming an expert on a subject. Once the credibility is established, all you need to do is maintain that level of consistency and continue to provide valuable data, content and research to your followers.
