Does that help illustrate Link Baiting? Every social network and website can be different just like every fishing hole and pond. There is no right way to do it, depending on the season and a lot of different circumstances beyond our control, the fish bite at different times and in different places.  The best thing is to be the first one to the fishing hole and to have something shiny and new that will attract them.  There are plenty of other articles out there that go into the details behind using the different “Link Baiting Hooks“.
