Ryan Caldwell of Performancing shared his experience in creating successfull list-oriented linkbaits.

Ah, yes.  Please keep in mind that a linkbait is not only in form of a list, but also in another writing style.

Linkbaiting (link baiting, linkbait, link bait etc) is a term that has increasingly being used around the blogosphere. Linkbait is a strategy when writing a post which was intended to withdraw other readers as well ad bloggers attention and then link it into their own blogs.

In term of posting’s topic or entry, Randfish of SEOMoz pointed out that there are two kinds of linkbait: (1) Linkbait - “Link-Worthy, Linkerati-Targeted Content“; and (2) “Attracting Link Attention with Controversy”

Ryan said that the key to writing bait is not objectivity, but being comfortable with subjectivity and opinion.

Here are he usually does when he writes a listbait:

1. come up with headline (defines the concept)
2. brainstorm list until I’m exhausted
3. remind myself that this is not a mid-term exam
4. write 1 sentence per item in the list (the “justification” for each item)
5. remove any items I can’t write 1 sentence for
6. pray that the sentence writing helped clarify my line of thought and jogs my mind for a few more items
7. remove the chaff
8. flesh out content with pics, videos, links
9. identify a number
10. refine the headline to fit the final content

# 3 is really an interesting point!

Thanks for sharing, Ryan! I will try to write my own soon!

Just stumbled upon Etienne’s posting about free website submission, I think this service is interesting and exciting to deal with. You can submit your site or blog URL to 150 directories for free! By using this service, you just need 15-minutes to do it, depending upon your connection and typing speed!

How come? ResellerGo wrote in its website:

The ResellerGo Directory Submission Software was developed by a group of software developers whose objective was to create a tool that would assist webmasters market their websites. After several months, we realized that the absolute necessity for all websites is directory submission - a process which can be both expensive and time-consuming.

…The ResellerGo tool is free of charge by joining and selecting the “Free Plan.” This plan has a limit of 150 submission per domain you add to your account - offering webmasters to promote an unlimited number of websites, with 150 submissions per domain.

Ah, yes. You can upgrade the plan into unlimited plan which was enabling you to submit your website to over 2,000 directories.

I myself have tried using the Free Plan of this service and then upgraded into the Silver Plan (Economic) by paying US$4 for the one-time per domain. I paid it by using the easy PayPal.

I think the submission tool is very useful and handy to do.

By submitting our site’s URL to a bunch of directories, it would effect our site’s ranking in a number of search engines. Would be nice if the directories we already submitted to, also have good PR, Alexa rank, and so on.

Yes, I agree that

The title of a blog post may or may not be as important as the content itself (depending on who’s being asked), but it certainly serves a distinct and important purpose — it draws people in.

In my experience, I often think how to create my blog post title first before continuing to break-down it into a full article or blog post.

So, I got the title first, then just wrote its content…

Please continue to read this useful post in order to create your own powerful and interesting blog post titles. Your title post as well as post can draw more people in.
