Eric uses a different approach, based on nearly 15 years of successful link building.
A Solid Track Record
Eric Ward has been helping clients with linking and link bait strategies since before the term existed. He was involved with concepting and promoting several of the most successful examples of content (aka link bait) ever, including Windows Media Player, The Weather Channel’s Weather on your Site, AMCTV’s Monsterfest, and Schering-Plough’s Hepatitis C Infocenter. More recently Eric helped publicize the new Children’s Hospital Boston Virtual Stem Cell Laboratory.
It’s About Content
Ward commented “the bottom line for me is quality content=quality links. Will the content attract links now and over time and will those links help you meet your marketing objectives? Attracting a million links to a piece of ephemeral silly content like the Diet Coke/Mentos video is fun, but ultimately meaningless and inspires copycats. Attracting the right links that help you publicize great new content is far more meaningful, so that’s what I focus on”.
Ward continued, “The truth is most sites are developing the kind of link bait that will have very little long term value. And a bad strategy can backfire, as we saw with the fake Wal-Mart blog? I’m glad that blog (which I bet some marketing consultant called link bait) wasn’t my idea.”
How Eric Ward Does Link Bait
Eric uses his experience to perform a link bait audit to determine what role link baiting ought to play in your online marketing strategy. Eric concepts with you what your linkbait could/should be, and once you create it, He shows you step by step how to get links for it and promote it, as only he can.
