Link baiting and web 2.0

[Stuartdykes]

If I have a website on say golf, I know it is still possible to do link baiting on such a topic but where do you promote it? If it were a popular niche Digg would be good, but what about a less popular niche?

Is it possible to use the web 2.0 marketing technique on subjects that are not as popular?

Promote it where people who will be interested are spending their time.

There are blogs, forums, and full-blown social networking sites for just about every obscure niche you could imagine. Find them.

If you have good enough link bait you can still promote a smallish niche on Digg. For example with the right marketing and content a list of the 6 worst golf swings could easily hit front page in the sports section. Even as a non golfer Charles Barkely's golf swing is still hilarious.

If I was to post something related to golf, but with an angle on it that would appeal to a broader audience, like the poor golf swing thing, and say that attracted linksfrom a variety of comedy sites. Would those 1000 unrelated links really do me that much good? Obviously you cant say for sure.

Also the majority of sites would probably be low quality sites, unrelated sites and if one thousand links appeared all at once, could that not put your site at risk from a ban or something?

Man, golf is easy to promote on social media
And don't whory about getting too much links at once, you will get enough diversity links to not get into trouble
