A good exmaple of a link bait is a tool that is relevant to your industry that people will want to use.

For example

Check Server Headers Tool provided by SEO Chat is a good example of a link bait. - Oh look I just linked to it!

And if you search for check server headers - what do you know! Link baits work!

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=e...er+header&meta=

The trick is creating something useful that no other site has.

seogoat agrees!
Accsys agrees!
pearlcompany disagrees: Wrong... Link Baiting original meaning was annoying someone or topic so it encourages someone to
link to the page explaining how ignorant they are. I know I created it.

I agree with the above posters. Anything you see on the front page of a website like Digg.com or your favorite social bookmarking site, that is link bait quality material, and if it was created intentionally to attract links, then it is premium link bait.

I think a pretty good list of link bait ideas to get you thinking can be found here:

I hate to ask the obvious question, but why didnt you just search on the forums or look in Google. There are some great explanations knocking around on both.
