Halloween Link Bait Link Dump
Happy Halloween link baiters! In the spirit of this ghoulishly delightful holiday, I decided I’d treat you to some successful Halloween-themed link bait. Only problem is, there are way too many to choose just 3. So rather than leave any good fright night link builders out, I thought I’d give ‘em all to you in one [...]

Tuesday, October 28, 2008
You know the economy is bad when… …when McDonald’s gets stingy with their sauces. What makes this work as link bait is not just that it portrays a shocking reality (shock value) or that it’s about McDonald’s (pop culture) but that it’s a sign of the times. Signs of the times are great. Why? Because they reach us. [...]

Monday, October 27, 2008
This short video blows the mind, revealing that technology like that of the favorite boy’s action figures turned blockbuster Hollywood SciFi/Action flick “The Transformers” already exists today. And who else to be working on it but the U.S. Military. Oooh. The video is well worth the watch, and while I won’t give anything away, I’ll [...]

Thursday, October 16, 2008
I love this – a BBC story about former Beatle Ring Starr’s announcement that he will no longer be signing autographs or memorabilia, nor will he answer fan emails any longer. Why do I love this? Because it stirs up a part of that everyone – Beatles fan or not – can relate to. We are [...]

Monday, October 6, 2008
“Where Are They Now’s” are fun. Personally, I wish there were more of them. Mind you, the reasons why are mystery to me. I mean, I totally understand our cultural attachment to the fictional characters themselves whom we’ve grown to love, but I just don’t get why we become so emotionally attached to the actors [...]

Thursday, October 2, 2008
OK, now here’s a blog that I never would have come across had it not been for this popular piece of link bait it just recently published. Uncoached: Because Some Things Can’t Be Taught sports a banner that’s part athleticism, part eroticism. What this has to do with Seinfeld is a crossover of audiences. By [...]

“Stars Wars“-inspired art. (and a TON of it) In terms of linkbait worthiness, need I say more? (OK, if I must…how about “Sexy Stormtrooper Bikin Shot”)?

Tuesday, September 2, 2008
Yesterday’s gamers are today’s… gamers. Video game aficionados never die, they just start over (and over and over again). When I was young, Super Mario Bros. was just being introduced. Now video games have evolved to sci-fi futuristic proportions, and guys my age are now playing revamped versions of the pioneering game with their boys. [...]

Thursday, August 21, 2008
Email bait as quality link bait? Apparently. Just ask the folks at the Telegraph (recipients of another Link Bait Hall of Fame nomination just earlier this week). Better yet, ask Angelina Jolie, Barack Obama, and Paris Hilton - the top 3 names on a list of the most used names in recent Spam-dom. Of course [...]
