Linkbait wouldn’t not become viral if we don’t take any action to promote it.
There are couple way to promote linkbait, we will only list down couple of the effective one. Web promotion is a big topic and we can’t cover everything in one chapter but at least we try to let you know couple of proven one.
Here are 5 proven ways that for sure will bring massive incoming link for your linkbait:
- Email Your Blogger Friends About Your Articles
- Submit To Social Network Website
- Comment and Network In Blog Community Network Site Such As MyBlogLog and etc
- Submit A Shorter Version Articles To Articles Site
- Link You Content To Other Site, They Might Link You Back.
Of course, there are more tip on how to promote your linkbait, our suggestion is use your creativity and read other good blog that talk about how to promote linkbait. We constantly learn new things when we see how a new blogger create and promote their linkbait using new social media network.
After you do all the promotion, don’t you ever wonder how effective is your linkbait?
There are couple metric to measure your linkbait. To keep thing simple, we just want:
- More Incoming Links
- More Traffic
- More Subscriber
- More Money
Using linkbait to get more links is usually our first priority. Because we with more incoming links, is like setting up a water pump line that can constantly provide you with traffic from that links and not to measure the traffic from search engine too. We love constant traffic ( Who doesn’t? ) with minimum effort later on.
Like Stumble Upon or Digg traffic, they come and go. Unless the visitors start to link it to you in their blog or subscribe to your blog. If not, it’s doesn’t bring much value.
To submit a linkbait that allow you to promote an affiliate or ads, the success rate is very low. If you are hoping that stumble upon user or digg user will click your adsense ads or buy one of your affiliate product ( which is very unlikely ), then you must really rethink about your linkbait strategy. But hey, we could be wrong here, in some industry and social media, you will be surprise a linkbait with affiliate links is actually working since most of the user are not tech savvy enough to know that is an affiliate links.
Anyway, for us the best way to really optimize for linkbait - is getting massive incoming links and subscribers. With that, you can definitely monetize those constant traffic later on!

Okay, How We Do The Link Audit?
How can we know out that our linkbait is working and the promotion work? we do a link audit.
Most people will use google to do link audit. But if you check you back links using google, it’s will be pretty confusing since google often leave out the low rank page back links and include the count of internal links. So the best way to find out how many back links is using yahoo search.
Here are couple of example using yahoo search operator to help you to do link audit:
All The Links To Single Page
link: http://www.yourdomain.com/hello.html
External Back Links To Single Page
link:http://www.yourdomain.com/hello.html -site:www.yourdomain.com
All The Links To Entire Site
linkdomain:www.yourdomain.com
External Back Link To Entire Site
linkdomain:www.yourdomain.com -site:www.yourdomain.com
With this yahoo search operator, you will find more accurate link to your site. But bare in mind that not all this link is count toward your google page rank since yahoo search operator didn’t exclude the <a rel=”nofollow”> link. That mean all your comments or other link in other people blog or website no follow link will count too.
More tips coming up for link audit and how we know what kind of back link is helping us to rank higher in search engine result page.

This is continue chapter of “Now You can Have Massive Incoming Links And High Page Rank“.
Nowday, knowing the back link count is still not enough, there are couple factors that affect back link value. Here is the lists:
Secret Value Of Back Links
- Anchor Text
- Back Link Page Title That Link To You
- Number Of Outbound Link In That Page
- What Kind Of Website
- Which IP Address Website Link To You
Okay, maybe the anchor text things is not secret anymore. Everyone know anchor test is important. We think anchor text is the number one factor that rank you blog for good keyword. But you will be surprise that Title Page that link to your site is also count as an indicator for what kind of keyword to rank in google SERP.
Title Page Of Back Link
Yeap, title page that link to you is also an indicator to google search engine that how relevant is your back link keyword. To exchange links and put a back link in the page of title “Link Partner” is good, but it’s can be better if have mean put in “Diet Beauty Related Blog” that will help you rank higher in “diet beauty” keywords.
Number Of Outbound Link In That Page
If a back link page have 10 outbound links that link to your blog and it’s definitely less value then 1 outbound link that link to your blog. Simple as that. The more outbound links that page have, the less value of the page rank that can be pass on to link to your blog.
What Kind Of Website
For sure, link farm and low page rank website count less for value or no value at all. But a related topic or category website will carry more weight that link to your blog.
Which IP Address Website Link To You
It’s best that you have different IP addresss website that link to your blog. Because you can have a lot of domain name hosted in one IP address and interlink with each other. Google is smart enough to detect that and if you back links is from different IP address, it’s will be better.
SEO Tools
Do we have all the time to do this and check this? Maybe not. There are couple tools that help us to keep track of those things, but you are always welcome to do it manually by using yahoo search operator example show in the early chapter by visiting each link page. ( yahoo search operator is best of total links count, maybe not the anchor text )
Now, latest Google Webmaster Tool now have the anchor text link report in your “page analysis” page. But it’s still lacking of powerful feature that help you to keep track of back links title page, IP address and etc.
Anyway, there are couple of very powerful commercial SEO tools that will help you to do that. What we found the most useful are SEOElite and IBP. It’s will help you to manage your back links plus many more other cool features.
IBP9 have a free trial version, we think good enough to help you get started to help you to keep track of anchor text, back link title page, IP address, outbound link of back link and etc.
Feel free to tell us what do you think of those tools.
