Masterbaiting In Public

Stop being hard on sorry, fallen Weiner

Congressman Anthony Weiner (D – NY) seems to have gotten himself into a sticky situation.

And the problem is at its climax.

After evidence kept rising up about the Brooklyn representative, Weiner admitted to having inappropriate contact with females via Twitter and email.

His admittance and unwillingness to resign has stimulated a media frenzy.

But people shouldn’t be so hard on Weiner.

Let’s get one thing straight – Weiner is not nuts.

Congressman or not, Weiner is just like your average Peter.

See, men have a tendency to be led astray by their thoughts and desires, and Weiner has become a victim of his anatomy.

Known for staying firm in his convictions, Weiner has built a reputation for himself as a strong member of the Democratic Party.

Whether or not you agree with him, Weiner always rises up to new challenges and never refuses to jump in and tackle new obstacles.

But at his press conference a few days ago, Weiner flashed a part of him we rarely get to see.

After tears leaked from his eye, Weiner revealed his soft side to the public.

One thing is for certain though ­— Weiner is sorry.

And he needs to be forgiven.

I’m not sure we know all the private parts of this situation yet.

There seems to be a conspiracy in the works.

Although there may have not been a Twitter hijacking, off and eerie things seem to be surrounding this case.

For example, publisher and commentator Andrew Breitbart appears to have come into this situation knowing a conspicuous amount of information. He even claimed to have x-rated photos of Weiner’s.

Perhaps Breitbart gave rise to this whole situation. After all, when it comes to manipulating, Breitbart is known to be the master. Baiting someone like Weiner is probably a lot easier than it seems.

Whatever the case may be, it would be a shame if Weiner was sacked.

Weiner has done so many things while he has been up in D.C. that I would hate to see him discharged.

But like always, coverage of this will soon begin to shrink. It won’t take long for the media and the American people to move on to the next scandal.

Give it a week and Weiner will be relieved of their prodding.

Weiner will then be free to start planting seeds of re-election in his constituency.

If we give him the chance, Weiner will pump up his reputation once again.

Backlinks, links from other sites to your website or blog, help to improve your credibility with search engines, online visibility, content reach and traffic. Therefore, building quality backlinks is just as important to the health and well being of your website or blog as the content that you write. So, let’s take a good hard look at not only why and how search engines value backlinks but now you go about building quality backlinks through an easy to follow link campaign.

Tool: See how many backlinks your site has

There are basically four ways to build links from other sites to you. Buy links from directories, ad networks, affiliate programs, etc.  Effective but not recommended as many sites that buy links eventually get penalized by Google. Join a mob of link farmers where everyone links to each other incestuously. Again, Google ain’t fond of this method either and has been known to punish sites that engage in link exchanging.

Build links manually. This is extremely effective and free. You just social network yourself all day long, ask friends, family, associates, clients, etc to link from their site to yours. You add yourself to every directory you can find then submit your RSS feed to every feed site you stumble across. Then you’ll get up tomorrow and do it all over again because you need t keep growing these links. Clearly the downside of this method is that you end up wasting a lot of valuable time. Create linkbait content that makes other people WANT to link to your site!  This is easy to do if you are creative and the best possible use of your time. This is the topic of this article so I am going to show you specifically how to become a masterbaiter using lists.

What is link bait? Link bait can be an extremely powerful form of marketing as it is viral in nature.  Part of successful linkbaiting is devising a mini-PR campaign around the release of a link bait article so that bloggers and social media users are made aware and can help promote the piece in tandem. Social media traffic can generate a substantial amount of links to a single web page. Sustainable link bait is rooted in quality content.
