Oh yeah ! I'm gonna scream and jump for joy you asked such question Link baiting, my friend, is the highest art in link building. As I have already done a few trainings to interns that help on it with my job I've come to the following simple definition: "The technology behind link baiting is pure human psychology". And that's all, and it's of course vast. Link baiting is being provocative, intriguing, questionable, menacing, creative and opposing and what not - your imagination is the limit - in a ways that will make people link to your content.
Linkbait is essentially a piece of content placed on a web page - whether it's an article, blog post, picture, or any other section of cyberspace - that is designed for the specific intention of gathering links from as many different sources as possible.
Link baiting is having useful content on your website which would make readers link back to that certain page of your website.
it meanning more people wii vist your site without large quantity of links ! like valuable articles with liks ,they are the best ways to make your site popular!
I would partially disagree with you. Link bait is the whole series of actions that include what you've said. Just placing some cool piece of content won't do the work for you
In link baiting,we do something interesting,or you can say something disputed .which inspires people to backlink us for publicity.
link baiting is a great strategy - it simply aims to attract everyone's attention to a certain topic on your site - IMO it must be something very current, shocking or exciting, or just anything catchy like "you just won $1,000,000" oh well that's old bait don't think would work nowadays and yep it is psychological, and the bait may not entirely be true but it should make sense i've done quite a lot of link baiting while working at an Australian SEO Company, it's fun at times, when you see people start to take the bait, the site sure did soar high
I never got into link baiting, as it's very passive and my seo'ing is more aggressive. So I can't comment on how well it works, but if it's real good content, or "Hot" at the moment, I imaging you'll get alot of backlinks to the page/site.
