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!
