Link Baiters - Shut It!

I'm getting fed up of the endless drivel coming out of link baiters. The first step of any link baiting is to write content that people would feel inclined to link to. The second stage is to right titles in feed aggreagators and social networking sites that encourage people to actually read what you have to say.

I'm sorry Danny, but Sphinn users are the masters of spin. The crappy titles that people use aren't informative they just try and provoke your users into clicking often without any useful or imaginative content behind it.

Take a look at this:








How the heck do they know that? Tell me something useful in the title! On these sites if there's anything sensationalist I just ignore them, and I believe many others are too.

My advice, by all means encourage people to click, but let's not all stoop to the lowest common denominator and end up being like the Sun or Mirror newspapers. All sensation and no substance!
