Link baiting is a good method for getting backlinks but does it helps in getting search engine rankings?

linkbait is used to describe the contents of the site, which is designed to provide links to other sites future. Some people do not agree with this use of the term, because it seems like a pejorative, when all linkbaiting is bad, while others think that it is perfectly true, although the negative connotations associated with the "lure" word.

Link bait is any content or feature, within a wesite, designed specifically to gain attention or encourage others to link to the website. Matt cutts defines link bait as anything "interesting enough to catch people's attention." Link bait can be an extremely powerful form of marketing as it is viral in nature. The term often has a negative or dismissive connotation.

I have no idea what half of the stuff going on in this thread means, but I'm a professional internet marketing consultant, so let's clear this up:

What the last poster said is totally right: Link Bait is just any article or thing published on a website that is really interesting, that people might want to link to just because they want to share it. It is "bait" (100% unique, original bait) to get links!

Some examples of link bait might be Top 10 Lists, or funny posts, or how-to guide

Can LinkBaiting be also defined as viral marketing?
