While we know that Google is cracking down on Paid links as they have penaltise multiple popular sites along with lowering the Pagerank of many sites. This actions send a message that we need to stop (Obvious Paid Linking), and go toward more of genuine links. Now my definition of genuine links is organic link which was linked because you had something interesting on your website. How the heck will you get something interesting? The process of getting links through the interesting topic of your website for free is called Link-baiting. This idea has been around for quiet some time, but it still works.

Most search engines, specially Google, relies on the quality of links to determine the link popularity of the website which determines your Search Engine Ranking Position(s) (SERPs). Therefore the ultimate goal of webmasters has evolved into getting backlinks for their website. Link-baiting gets you backlink and gains you loyal users as well because if you are offering something for free which interest your user then they will stay at your website and keep coming back to it to use your service.

Not only just that, they will link to your website on other places such as Online Communities (Forums), their websites, blogs, etc. How will Google respond to that? or any other search engine? Their actions will be somewhat liks this:

User’s site link to yours because of good content -> Search Engine says user’s website is suggesting that your website is quality so they increase your authority -> This automated authority change in their database automatically changes the SERPs -> which leads in you ranking higher than you usually did.

Also this genuine linking directly increases your pagerank because more quality backlinks determines the pagerank of your website.

First of all let me begin with saying that there are infinite ways of link-baiting. You just have to keep an open mind. I will give few examples in the blog post, but if you can think of more feel free to use the comment box to suggest some more. Ok here are the few ways of link baiting.

Say you have good knowledge, PHP Knowledge, Programming languages etc. You can come up with a tool that offers something to your end user. Now talking in the webmaster industry, the most effective use of link-baiting through tools was done by Iwebtools (Now very popular due to their tools they just got an organic link from my blog). Same as Genuine Site Rank which offers multiple webmaster tool and there are many more which i won’t bother to link.
