You get free backlinks without even asking for it! There are several ways to link bait. Link baiting is legal and not banned by search engines. Although there may be a negative connotation to the term, there is nothing wrong doing it. Today I would like to share with you a four link baiting tips to increase website traffic.
"How To Tips" or "To Do Lists"
We've seen plenty of such articles around the internet and this is not just restricted to blog articles. Sometimes it can be difficult to write an article starting along those lines and get good traffic if there are a lot of competitors for the keywords in your title posts. Nevertheless, writing things like "5 Steps to Boost Confidence" or "How to be a better parent in 5 ways" does get people to read your articles. You might want to try breaking up your articles to smaller pieces so that you can post different but related articles over a period of time.
Product Reviews
Product reviews are also a very good way to get a lot of people to visit and read your blog. It is even better if you are ahead of the pack and the first one to give that review. People generally would want to read reviews before purchasing a product, so there is always going to be reviews to critic that product. If you are in that position, seize the opportunity to write a s detailed post that makes your article the best review.

Interviews are great especially if you manage to interview an authority figure and post the contents of the interview on your blog. People would love to hear expert opinions on a particular subject and word of mouth will get more people coming to your website to read that interview. The important thing about interviews is that it is good to list down the important parts of it to add more value to your post.
Starting a Discussion Or Debate
As a blogger, you don't necessarily have to write articles all the time. It is more interactive to get your readers involved. You can post a few paragraphs of an article about a rhetorical question related to your blog and ask for comments. The comments section then becomes very important as it becomes the focus of discussion. You can ask questions that will get different opinions from various readers and you can jump into the discussion as well. Be careful here, sometimes discussions might go the wrong way causing people to get angry and this is reflected in their comments. If that happens, it is your duty to diffuse the tension and moderate those comments.
Finally, this list is non exhaustive and there are several other ways to get people's attention in this whole link bait exercise. Happy Blogging!
