Wingnut SEO

As we all know links are good to have - the question becomes how to get them. A trend has been going on for a long time now whereas unknown bloggers write a post and end up getting a link or two on very well known bloggers sites. How are they doing this? It’s simple really, the steps are outlined as follows:

1. Pick a blogger community (SEO’s, Mommybloggers, lolcats, etc)
2. Write a post with a comparison between X and heavy hitters of above group
3. Profit

That’s all there is too it, really. What you have to remember is that all bloggers, no matter who they are, love being talked about. It’s why they write.  Even if they don’t admit it - all bloggers love the fact that people are reading what they write and likewise love it more when people talk about them. It’s true.

Lets do a sample linkbait post now. For the first step (choosing our community) lets go with SEO’s as I know this group the best. Our comparison will be Pies (to show how random it can be)

(title)Famous SEO bloggers if they were Pies(/title)

Michael Gray - If Michael Gray, writer of wolf-howl.com and SEO superstar were a pie he would be Pumpkin! He’s a pumpkin pie because, just like pumpkin pie, everyone in the SEO industry has heard of him and has probably tried out what he has to say. Love him or hate him he’s he is always at the family gatherings.

Lee Odden - Lee Odden of toprankblog.com would for sure be an Apple pie! Just like apple pie everyone wants a peice, and in Lee’s case all SEO’s want to be on his BigList!

XMCP - Otherwise known as SlightlyShady in pie form would be Rhubarb! He’s would be this kind because like rhubarb not everyone has heard of him, not everyone has tried what he has to say, some people are repulsed by what he does while others simply love it! (/end sample post)

And there you have it (The above is just sample. When you are writing your linkbait post I suggest doing 5+ people of your group to compare to). To really knock the socks off and get more readers you should add pictures to each person you compared - like a before and after to really drive home your point.

Wash. Rinse. Do again every few weeks.
