I always ask myself if link baiting worth all the effort.

the other day i was thinking about how i can get the big blogs to mention me in there blog’s because that can definitely help and get me some much needed incoming links. So i was looking for ways to get them when I went to john chows site and they had done a artist rendering of him and he had posted about it. So it worked. I said to myself why didn’t I thinnk about that.

well I had come up with some Idea’s that I had tried and none of them seem to work. so know I have asked myself does link baiting really work or is it better to just coff up the money to advertise in there site.

for a john chow plug it will run like $300 to $400 just for a plug that’s alot of money. I was thinking of spending some money on some link baiting ideas about $100 bucks. So if they worked I would save about $200 to $300 for a plug from a site like john chow.com.

so that’s another example showing that it works. But what if they don’t bite. then what.

I think it is good to first try to establish a relationship with the blog you are trying to bait because that will give you a better chance to get them to bite.

Personally It has not worked because I don’t have a good relationship with the site’s I’m trying to bait. That’s why I’m first trying to build a relationship then I get them to bite.
