Since you're looking for SEO sites with emphasis on content, here's what you should look at... - Create link-worthy content to get more visitors and links It is sometimes useful to recall what you know to be more efficient. Nowadays, linkbait is any content created with the intent of getting links. Most effective linkbaits are built on delivering great content, tools and such.

But back in the days, linkbait was just another word for 'link-worthy content'. And in my opinion, that's what a good website should have: something amazingly useful for the audience, links or no links.
