Esrun I think it’s a mistake to think Linkbait is taking off. It’s always been with us in some form, ever since the cave man drew on the cave wall to attract the cave woman.

Sure, it can be argued that Linkbait is a specific form of communication and has its own syntax, but at it’s core it’s no different than any form of communication whose intention is to be consumed by the maximum amount of readers.

It’s a mistake to think Linkbait is a new thing. Those who realise what Linkbait actually is will have the edge. The word is new, but the method is ancient.

here’s a few I’ll add (I twisted some up a little, but they still apply):

–Why your Girlfriend can linkbait better than you.
–Top 18 Examples of Super Linkbait by Super Women.
–Top 18 Headlines That Your Wife Created, Without Even Trying.
–18 Ways To Win An Argument! (Hint: Start Them!)
–18 Powerful Secrets Women Use To Win-Over New Readers
–The Secret 18 Tactics Women Use To Trick You Into Listening To Them.
–Top Secret Methods Women Use to Get OTHER WOMEN To Pay Attention!

–18 Reasons Why Women Are Better Search Marketers Than Men.

Ok, in the defense of men I should mention that a lot of MEN write/edit for Women’s magazines too. (As do Women work for Men’s mags as well). But this still makes for interesting ideas and brainstorming.
