Hello friends,

What is the difference between link building and link baiting..?

Link Bait is to give backlinks to other websites from your content. While Link-building is to build backlinks for your site. https://55next.com/

Linkbaiting is the practice of crafting content that is designed to get other content producers to link to it. The purpose is increasing the number of inbound links to your content and thus improving its performance in search engine results.

Hi,
Look at it this way. All squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares. Link baiting is one tactic within the larger concept of "link building."

IMHO, "link baiting" is creating a piece of content (story, infographic, etc.) so juicy or interesting that it's just begging to get linked-to. One example would be to use some hyperbolic headline like "SEO is dead" to get readers all worked up and create discussion and sharing...which almost inevitably leads to links back to the site or story from other blogs or twitter feeds. In this case the story/headline was the "bait."

The biggest difference between them is that link building works for a long period of time, whereas link baiting works on for a short period of time to attract traffic on your blog or site.

Link baiting is the process of creating content with the sole focus of getting individuals to link to it or share it. The goal of developing link bait is to create as many inbound links to a website as possible.

Link building is the process of acquiring hyperlinks from other websites to your own.
