Link building is the single most important aspect of SEO, and yet it is often the most difficult. It’s also where most people cut corners. One pillar of successful link building is strategic linkbait. “What exactly is linkbait?” you might ask. It’s basically anything that pulls the visitor in and begs to be linked to. “But, isn’t linkbait a shallow trick to get people to your page?” It can be, but that’s not really effective because it won’t sustain traffic or links. Effective linkbait is backed up by good content. Anything can qualify as linkbait: a useful tool, a cool AJAX widget, a great design, a fascinating article, an opinionated blog, a debate, a poll, a contest, a resource, and the list goes on.

However, examples are often far better than explanations, so I put together a list of ten great linkbait ideas in action.
