What is SEO link bait?
Link bait is content designed to attract attention and natural backlinks from other sites. For link building, it’s not about tricks — it’s about creating something so useful, surprising, or authoritative that editors and bloggers want to reference it. The goal is high-quality, relevant links that improve visibility and domain authority.
