OK, something has been bothering me.When a piece of web content, be it a blog post, a picture, a pdf, gets called linkbait simply because it gets a bunch of links. Is the term “linkbait” overused? Yes. But why is it important, I mean, who cares?

I have to agree.. Just because people link to it and it is viral does not make it linkbait. It is the intention and motivation behind the creation of the content that makes it linkbait.
