I am planning to try Link Baiting for a new travel site I am creating.

Is link baiting really useful? Will it be helpful in getting more traffic?

If yes, in what ways can it be actively done? What all should b ekept in mind while doing it?

Link baiting is simply writing compelling content that makes people want to link to it and is nothing new.

These are rather strange questions for a so-called newcomer to be asking. The one about cloaked pages, the one about link baiting...anyone else starting to smell a rat?
