Content Baiting

There are undoubtedly dozens if not a few hundred methods of obtaining links to your website or blog.

Last night I came across Stephen Dean’s Copywriting blog while doing a Google blog search for additional content writing advice that might help me with my own writing and to give additional advice from a sales pitch point of view.

I revisited his blog this morning and read another post that I skipped over last night. Stephen mentioned that some guy named James Brausch is offering a free copy of his newsletter to review.

I figure it couldn’t hurt since it was free so I hopped over to his website and the first thing that caught my eye was the criteria required to get the newsletter. This is part of what James wrote:

“1. Post your request on your blog with a link to this post on my blog. I’ll see the link or the trackback.”

James made that offer on February 29th and he has already had 10 trackbacks… 10 people linking to his blog and now 11.

James - please send me a copy to info@ this domain. Thank you sir!
