Linkbait and Viral Content Packages

Linkbait is any viral content or feature within a website that somehow baits viewers to place links to it from other websites. Attempts to create link bait are frequently employed in the overall task of search engine optimization. Matt Cutts defines linkbait as anything "interesting enough to catch people’s attention." Linkbait can be an extremely powerful form of marketing as it is viral in nature. Viral content is create compelling, attention-worthy pieces that pull in links and visitors from social media portals. This is also known as link bait.

Link Baiting (link baiting, linkbait, link bait etc) is a term that has increasingly being used around the blogosphere.
As the term is used more and more I’ve also noticed an interesting debate emerge among bloggers (and search engine optimization types) over the idea of ‘link baiting’ and whether it’s a good thing or not. The term linkbaiting is a one that seems to have surfaced over the past 12 or so months and that is used by webmasters to describe a variety of practices - all of which seek to generate incoming links to a website or blog from other sites. The idea of link baiting is to create a piece of content which is centered on a set demand from a specific audience. Who do you want to relate to? Why would they care? What would make them likely to spread your idea? For more information about link baiting and how it is used please read Aaron Wall’s article "Linkbaiting or Link Baiting Strategies?‘ at SEObook.com

Wikipedia states there are five main types of linkbait
Although there are no clear-cut subdivisions within linkbait, many attempt to divide them into types of hooks. This is a short list of some of the most common approaches with brief descriptions:

Informational Hooks - Provide information that a reader may find very useful. Some rare tips and tricks or any personal experience through which readers can benefit.
News Hooks - Provide fresh information and garner citations and links as the news spreads. As news breaks you ma often catch the scoop and present it with you being the authority on the subject.
Humor Hooks - Tell a funny story or a joke. A bizarre picture of your subject or mocking cartoons can also prove to be a link bait. Political cartoons are great examples of humor hooks.
Evil Hooks - Saying something unpopular or mean may also yield a lot of attention. Writing about something that is not appealing about a product or a popular blogger. Provide strong reasons for it. This is an example that we do not condone and will not offer our services for.
Tool Hooks - Create some sort of tool that is useful enough that people link to it. An example of a tool hook would be a sidebar widget with links embedded into it.
