Link Baiting Techniques

So recently I broke through my denial, and finally admitted to myself that I suck at link baiting. I have about 10-20 people per day staying on my site for a long period of time for the past 6 month reading my material, but almost no one, may be 0.01% links back to my site.

Now, I understand that I am in specific niche where most of the people prefer to stay private etc. That being said I think that the way I present my material has a lot to do with it.

In other words I fail to make my material remarkable, or worthy for somebody to make a remark about it (Thank you Seth Godin).

Anyway, I was wondering if anybody can share some tricks they use to make their content stand out.

Thanks!

  • Perhaps its a good thing that people are not leaving comments?

    Some people like to post antagonistic blog postings just to get people riled up and leaving feedback - in this niche I would not think that is the right way to go?

    The fact that they are staying on your site a decent amount of time IMHO is a good sign

    • Content with lots of facts and figures and a few Aha moments tend to attract more links...

      But your particular niche may cause a fear of ridicule, fear of offense, that may stop people from giving you links...
  • Have you been linking with sites in the same niche field as you?

    Your subject area wouldn't put me off because for all I know you may be getting thousands of visitors each month. It's not like I would have to have a huge arrow pointing to my porn addict link.

    Do you contact sites and ask if they want to exchange links? I receive several such requests per month.

    Note:I MAY HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD your point? Are you trying to get visitors to link back to certain articles? Or are you trying to acheive reciprocal links?

    Also, I haven't clicked on your sig links. So are you a site helping porn addicts recover or a site enabling porn addicts to help themselves to viewing porn?
