Is Grant Griffiths Linkbaiting?
Fellow solo and blogger Grant Griffiths has yet another blog, Blogging Tips – and in this post, he blogs about linkbaiting, the practice of writing good content for the sole purpose of attracting links. Grant explains that he links to other posts that offer good content – and he gives some ideas on ways that you can generate good content for your site.
While the advice is useful, personally, I think that bloggers ought to write good content because, well…that’s what bloggers do but more importantly, that’s what our readers deserve. So above all, I try to post on content that will serve my solo/small firm and wannabee-solo constituents. If my content brings links, that’s a secondary benefit, but it’s not the point.
Update: Grant continues the linkbaiting conversation over here at Home Office Lawyer. I’m interested to see the comments as well.
Linkbaiting? We all do whether we like it or not. Our good content causes others to link to us. And, my point was CONTENT is the most important thing we can do. Content is what attracts our readers and our linkers. And whether we like it or not, the incoming links are one of those nasty little things that drive the search engines nuts and causes blogs to rank so high. Take a look at the left side of My Shingle. Carolyn may be linkbaiting.

Carolyn and I are having a discussion about it over at My Shingle. We are both trying to make a point. While we all may provide links to other bloggers’ work, CONTENT is what really matters. Sometimes we attorneys take
