Link baiting is when you entice people to link to their sites by giving some sort of incentive or making it attractive to do so.

How can one "link" their site to one website?

Hey friends, we have already discussed link baiting in the ''Web Design, Development, SEO, SEM'' section. BTW, all SEO related threads should be posted there.

Linkbaiting is a term I’ve been coming across a lot on various blogs and forums. For a few days I ignored it thinking it was some “blackhat” seo tactic to promote your links due to the expression “baiting”.

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.

[Steve Smith]

Linkbait refers to a placement on a website for the strict purpose of tempting other web pages to link to that website. Link baiting is a viral marketing form, and can be extremely powerful, as it draws traffic to a website without keyword searches or specific searches for that web page. Link baiting is also used in search engine optimization, as it is a powerful tool and can help a website that has fewer popular keywords than usual. Linkage with other web pages signifies that the original page is worth reading.

Link baiting is any content or an image, within a website created particularly to gain attention or encourage others to link to your site.
