What are the forms of link baiting?

Since link baiting is often a viral phenomenon, it is a great way to achieve a large number of natural incoming links. Here are a few examples of link baiting techniques.

• Content Bait – If your content is unique and useful to visitors, other sites will link to it naturally.
• News Bait – If you can provide the latest breaking news, other sites will link to it naturally.
• Comedy Bait – If you can provide an original funny movie or picture, other sites will link to it naturally.
• Unpopular Bait – Having unpopular opinions on certain subjects can get you a ton of links quick. It can backfire, however, so use it at your own risk.
• Tool or Widget Bait – If you can create an original tool, widget, theme, or some other type of software people can use, other webmasters will link to it naturally.
