Six Linkbaiting Strategies to Boost Your Site’s Traffic
Overview
Linkbaiting has become a buzzword in the blogosphere, and I'm here to add my perspective.
Background
Google gives higher rankings to "authoritative" sites?"those with numerous inbound and outbound links. This makes acquiring links crucial for online success. Plus, inbound links directly drive traffic to your site.
Current Practices
To capitalize on this, techniques like link exchanges, link sales, and link-finding software have emerged. Many articles also offer free content that links back to the author’s site. My inbox alone has 437 such articles, ranging from the utility of rubber floor mats to laminating film insights.
Linkbaiting: The Viral Marketing of Links
Linkbaiting involves creating content so engaging that others naturally share and link to it, offering free exposure and boosting traffic. You need to offer something noteworthy to encourage mentions on blogs or websites.
The Hook
Nick Wilson at Performancing.com provides a great discussion on Linkbaiting, emphasizing the importance of a "hook." He outlines several types:
- News Hook
- Contrary Hook
- Attack Hook
- Resource Hook
- Humor Hook
Six Linkbaiting Ideas
1. Create a Free Tool: Develop a simple tool that serves those in your niche and distribute it widely.
2. Leverage RSS Feeds: Monitor news feeds closely. When a relevant story breaks, cover it and comment on blogs to generate buzz. This strategy has worked well for me.
3. Craft a Humorous List or Post: Use humor to engage your audience within your niche.
4. Share Funny Pictures: Find or create humorous images related to your field.
5. Conduct Original Research: For instance, analyze the week’s most profitable programs on Commission Junction, similar to the popular post on my blog.
6. Offer Freebies: Provide a free web template, WordPress plugin, or graphics file as a giveaway.
Conclusion
Whatever tactic you choose, remember that viral marketing requires an initial "index case." Start by planting your content on popular blog sites, forums, or both within your niche. This strategic placement can ignite the viral spread of your content.
