LINK BAITING by CONTROVERSY
A good public relation skill goes a long way in building an off line business. If you apply this same concept with the web industry, you may call this skill as Link baiting.
This method has been one of the most effective in getting one-way traffic towards any sites. Attracting surfers to your website will make your page rank climb up among the major search engines. Actually, the concept of link baiting is not a fresh idea in the web industry. If you think of it under the light of book publication, it is the creativity of the author coming up with a good story in order for his book to amass millions of sales. Employing the same idea online, you have to use your inventive side in order to generate link-worthy articles, or blog entries which will make people link to your website.
In the same manner, you can also use the same practice employed by most offline publishers for your website. Among their popular methods is the use of controversy. It has been a fact in the reading segment of the society that controversial write-ups always sell like hotcakes. The reason up to now is still unclear but it has been evident in our society these days.
There are some people who fancy critiquing others to rouse controversy, for instance you may pass judgment on a certain professional in your society who has been making news lately. If you settle for this option, it is best to be certain that you are aware of what you’re getting involved with, otherwise you’d only end up making a fool of yourself and obtaining a pleasant traffic just temporarily.
