Link Bait Barnacle
There’s been a bunch of talk about link bait lately. And here’s the verdict… this stuff is not for amateurs.
You’ve figured out that your pole is not quite long enough for deep water fishing. But you still need traffic, right?
Well, relax. Sidekick is here to teach you a new way to glom on to someone else’s creativity, in three easy steps.
1.First you gotta spot some good link bait that someone else has posted before anyone else does.
2.Then, post something juicy about it on your own blog, with a link back to the bait. This gets you in the first trackback position just below the post.
3.Watch the traffic roll in.
Of course, this means you’re going to have to keep your beady little bloodshot eyes peeled to at least 500 feeds 24/7. But what else would you do with your time? Concentrate on creating content that stands on its own merit and naturally draws the links?
How silly.
Do you mean just like this?

Is anyone in here missing the point?
Just kidding grasshoppers, I know you’re in on the joke with me.

This is hilarious, although I ended up here from bloggerpreneur. Perhaps the original content thing does ring true in this case.

Interesting. My original blog http://www.damnittohell.com used to have traffic up around 10,000 hits a day but has died over the past couple of years and the only things that I have done differently is:
1.(a big one) I have quit posting as often
2. I quit using trackback and commenting.

I have resorted to bribing for backlinks on my blog. It has been a slow month.
