Linkbaiting is something a good number, if not all, webmasters do-wether they understand it or not! Who doesn’t want their content linked to? Backlinks are a good thing, and getting them without any added exertion on your part ought to always bring a smile to your face.

Writing content that is so perfect and so complete that it entices one-way incoming links from others…well, I for one love when that happens!

The methods you use to try and get people to link to your content is only limited by your imagination, and some will stop at nothing in order to succeed, hence the bad rap linkbaiting has gotten in some circles.

I’m not writing this article to argue the ethics of linkbaiting, but to give what I feel are the five best techniques you can use for getting some of those links.

So without further adu, here are my five favorite linkbaiting techniques:

1. Create the best content-Cover your topic better than anyone else has! Become the ultimate resource for information on your topic. Use video, images, and audio in your posts. Make your content useful, provocative, attention grabbing, provide real value to your readers, make them want to link to your content!

2. Be the first to break a story in your niche-Difficult to do, but very effective in getting incoming links! Stay up-to-date on what’s going on in your niche, stay on the cutting edge! Give your readers the scoop!

3. Provide a useful tool or software-By doing this you will get backlinks, there is little doubt about it! Even if you can’t produce the tool or software yourself you can buy it or pay someone to produce it for you. The more needed and useful the tool or software the more links it will generate for your site.

4. Include “lists” of useful links in your content-Links to useful websites or useful resources tend to get linked to a lot. Make your list the most complete, or the most useful, make it stand out from the rest. Give your readers what they are looking for. I made a list of websites that offered the most, free Wordpress themes available and found it became very popular and was linked to often.

5. Everyone likes free stuff-Give it away-and they will come. Not only that they will tell their friends about it!

Conclusion

Use these five techniques, and use them consistently as you create your content, whether it’s blog posts, articles, website content, etc. and you will find your offerings linked to more often. And spontaneously occurring backlinks are the best type!

I have overwhelmed by the number of clients experiencing the Google Slap in recent weeks.

What is the Google Slap?

It’s when Google reduces your Quality Scores overnight, making your minimum bids extremely high, in some cases as high as $10.  Some accounts become inactive overnight, even when they had previously been highly profitable for both the advertiser and Google – as the advertiser had been spending $10,000+ per month!

What causes the Google Slap?

Google has now decided they do not want poor quality landing pages, poor quality sites, money making affiliate schemes or many lead generating sites.

If you haven’t been slapped yet, you soon will.

How can you get around the Google Slap?

It is necessary to do the following:

Assess landing pages. Google dislikes one page websites, or websites that ask a user to signup on the landing page. Websites which are highly relevant, and at least 5 pages are the only ones that now work. They should contain Ts and Cs and a privacy policy. Google also dislikes affiliate sites where links on the landing page are mainly to affiliate sites. Ensure you have keywords which very closely match each advert. You HAVE to get a Click Through rate of at least 1%, or you will end up with a low Quality Score. Keywords need to be moved into extremely focused groups to ensure a high Click Through Rate. Write adverts with the main keywords in the headline, and ideally in the main body of the advert too Content network should be turned off due to the likelihood they will create a Click Through Rate of less than 1% If content network is required, separate campaigns should be run ONCE the quality score issue has been fixed If this all fails, the easiest thing to do is move everything to a new account and start again. Quality Score will immediately restart at 5, and providing the keywords and ads are highly targeted, this will fix the issue.

Overall, taking these steps should fix the issue.
