Link Baiting Services

To take advantage of the popularity of social networking websites and counteract the increase in the number of websites, WebDuck Designs is now offering link baiting services. SEO link baiting is fairly new and becoming increasingly popular as a method of online marketing.

What is SEO Link Baiting?

Link baiting is the act of adding content to your website in an effort to gain traffic and incoming links to your website. In order to catch people’s eye and make them want to visit or link to your website, the content added needs to be a topic of importance to others or exclusive to your site. Finding a topic, writing an article and locating/placing links are fairly easy tasks to perform but can be pretty time consuming. While Link baiting is a service offered by many web companies, if you have the time you can save money by doing it yourself.

How do you perform Link Baiting?

To begin SEO link baiting you need to come up with a topic that is newsworthy or of interest to others. An article about that topic should then be written and added to your website, keeping SEO writing methods in mind and making it as long as possible. Once you have an article posted online you will want to visit popular social networking sites like Linked In and Facebook. Posting a link to your new article in these popular websites will help by: having a link on a high ranking website, increasing traffic to your website and possibly create a buzz about your topic. Your article should have links posted on:

  • Facebook: Post a brief description of your article, on your fan page, leaving visitors wanting to know more so they have to visit your website to read on.
  • Linked In: Before posting in Linked In, in order to get the most visibility it is recommended to join a number of groups relative to your business and the topic. Depending on your topic you can post a description and link to the article in a group discussion or if newsworthy in the news section of the group.

What makes link baiting important?

The primary goal of SEO link baiting is to increase the website’s search engine ranking. By performing link baiting you are able to increase your website ranking in a number of ways:

  • By adding an additional page to your website your overall ranking is increased. Websites with more content have a better chance of showing up high in the search engines. This is because each page has its own purpose for bringing in traffic, so you essentially have more keywords you are likely to be found under.
  • When online many people just visit social sites, like Facebook, just having a link on social websites will help increase your website traffic.
  • Having a link on a high ranking website (like Facebook) will likely increase your search engine ranking. The more quality incoming links you have to your website the better your chances are of showing up in search engines.
  • One of the best ways of keeping returning customers is to post new and update content on your website frequently. Unique visitors are great for increasing your ranking, but returning visitors also play a role in your search engine ranking.
