Linkbait for a Living

Have you ever thought to yourself – “Gosh. I wonder what Dave Pye actually does for a living“?

If your answer was “yes” then please read on. If your answer was “no, you narcissistic prick” – I probably deserved that. I’m going to pull down my professional pants today and give you a Wizard-of-Oz-esque peek behind the… pants. I wrote a piece on my search engine marketing blog last night which may just be entertaining enough for Pye in the Face. It may also earn me street cred with the local Star Trek fan club.

The “art” of creating linkbait is one of my favorite parts of online marketing. How else would I be able to pay my bills writing about Joy Division, Al Capone and the NCAA in the course of the same workday? I’ll let you travel on over to my linkbait examples post for a deeper explanation. You’ll get to see me share, for the first time, some of the admittedly very silly things I get to put together for clients. You’ll also learn how it helps their companies make money. Sometimes these things have to be seen to be believed. Sometimes they should be ignored completely.

To top things off, I finished an article last night that left me feeling as though I’d just enjoyed the benefits of 17 consecutive Metamucil milkshakes. To put it [...]...
