Is it perhaps I forgot the graphic?<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogsmithmedia.com\/www.calacanis.com\/media\/2007\/04\/link-bait.jpg\" alt=\"calacanis dog\" \/> I am a big fan of Jason because he went to Woodstock before he was born. I saw it on <a href=\"http:\/\/scobleizer.com\/2007\/01\/23\/bad-sinatra\/\">Bad Sinatra<\/a>. But I still want my link. I was at Woodstock too. We had to walk for miles and miles and miles to get there. It took us days. We lived on roasted corn sold by roadside vendors. I remember meeting a young guy on the way, had a bulldog&#8230;  anyway he was a really smart kid- I remember thinking, he&#8217;ll go far.<\/p>\n<p> At least I got some secondary linkage though, which is pretty cool when you think about it. Just by linking to Jason&#8217;s link bait post I picked up a link, even without Jason&#8217;s (But where <em>is<\/em> my link dude?). I guess people&#8217;s Technorati surfing got me some. So thank you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.selaplana.com\/2007\/04\/30\/calacanis-stupid-link-baiting\/\">SELaplana<\/a> and no I didn&#8217;t get one.<\/p>\n<p>In case you&#8217;re wondering why on earth I am bothering with this there is a serious point about inbound links. The more you have, especially from others that have a lot, the better your Google ranking. Dumb stuff like this can help you with stuff like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/search?hl=en&amp;q=james&amp;btnG=Google+Search\">this<\/a> &#8211; that is, having a higher Google rank, being a top ten &#8220;james&#8221;, or &#8220;jason&#8221;. Blogging is the best way to do search engine optimisation and you&#8217; don&#8217;t even feel dirty in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>Update: I knew I got two links out of it, but one disappeared and only showed up again this morning.
