Major questions to ask yourself before you the publish button:

• Is the content I am writing relevant and extremely useful to my audience?
• Is my content giving my readers new information or a new perspective on something they’ve already heard?

• Linkbait is a word that gets passed round a lot in SEO - but it's not a massively used or understood term, and a Google search only yields a few specialist sites based on SEO. Some describe it as a technique; others dismiss it as a by-product of producing quality content.

There are, of course, any number of ways to garner such links - a few of which are listed below.
• Timely, current content
• With the advent of constantly-updated blogs and the thirst for news that has grown with it, current affairs can be a good source of links. Many of the meritocracy sites, including Digg and Newsvine, have a predominantly news-oriented approach to their content.
• If you can cover a news story whilst it's still a current event, and publicise the link to enough people, you should be able to gather traffic and links as people spread the word and link to you. If you're lucky enough to have a sector with an established .
