There are many ways in performing effective linkbaiting that will work under most circumstances. If you're good at programming scripts (or if you can hire a programmer) in PHP, ASP or Java, you can simply create a small program that will help other site owners or webmasters. Here are a few ideas:

An online calculator or mortgage payment calculator
A program that checks the number of incoming links to a site
A script that checks a site's rankings in Google, Yahoo and MSN
A contest of some kind, where people will have to link to you to see the results

Of course, there are a lot more possibilities and you are only limited to your own imagination on how far you can go with this idea. The goal is simply to maximize the number of links to your site. Offering a free tool or a free service such as indicated above are a few ways of achieving that goal.

If you have other ideas or if you would like to comment on some other ways you have used to increase the number of links to your site, please drop us a line today! You don't even have to give us your name. All emails will be kept confidential.

Good luck in your linkbaiting!
