A few days ago, Anil Dash sorta-kinda called out some mainstream journalists he suggests penned pieces as link bait. Link bait, if you haven’t heard it before, is a simple way of describing what someone else has written purely for the sake of getting others to link to it. Typically it’s obnoxious, insulting, or totally off base and can’t be left alone, but other examples surely occur.
IMHO, the funniest thing is that this particular blogpost is one of the better link bait things out there. Damn. No wonder Anil won that SEO contest a while back.
