I have a question though.

I am really into organic search results and have never used PPC yet because I'm terrified and because I have always wanted to try to rely on my content 1st. Anyway, I'm always working on building backlinks to my site through
  • Link exchange
  • Social bookmarking
    ]
  • Blogging
  • Directory submission

But I have never heard the term "link baits" before. Could you explain to me what this means and how it is done?

Sheree
Hi there! I'm glad I was able to help you out. Link baiting comes in many forms. It can be any content that your site has that can make a buzz and attract other sites to link to you. Articles, videos, pictures, interviews, etc. - almost anything that will draw other sites attention.

There are also ways to promote your link baits, you can email (opt-in) other webmasters to offer them content from your site - one that is really unique and useful in your niche that would add value to their site. You can also market them via other sites. If it is a video - you can submit them to youtube or any other media sites, articles to article directories, and so on.

For more info on this, I have this on my bookmarks 21 KEYS TO LINK BAIT SUCCESS

Hope that helps
