Many more SEO companies are now starting to offer linkbait services, TextLinkAds seem to be the latest with linkbaiting services available under a price plan option of $5k or $10k.
While I am very keen on creating my own linkbaiting projects, at the moment I am still in the process of learning about how to create successful linkbait so would not yet feel confident in offering this as a service, as I wouldn’t be able to guarantee successful results, but it’s certainly something I would like to be able to offer in the future.
My main attempts so far to create quality content to promote as linkbait have been:
- Being the first to report about the new Google AdWords account snapshot starter page helped to quickly gain many inbound links from various SEO and PPC blogs including Search Engine Watch and Search Engine Roundtable, this also resulted in a large increase in traffic during a short period of time.
- How to increase StumbleUpon traffic?, which now ranks at number #2 in Google for ‘StumbleUpon traffic’ searches and also made the StumbleUpon Buzz list.
- Articles 10 tips to gettings started with Google AdWords and a day in the life of an internet marketing consultant have also helped to receive many inbound links.
