Say a realtor in a city who blogs. If he is a good local blogger he wouldnt concern himself much in issues outside his community. In order to get link from link bait he probably have to cast a wide net beyond the focus of his audience. Has anyone done this with success in a tight niche? Or do you agree that it is mostly useful in more wider arenas? I question the value of spending the time to create link bait at a super niched down level. Say a realtor in a city who blogs.

However I have a disagreement. I don't agree with the statement that you should never have advertising on the really good content because your readers will give you flak about it. Anyone who has ever invested the time to develop great content will agree that their ability to profit from it in some way is what allows them the time to create it in the first place. Most people don't create awesome content simply because they are "good people" they do it because they think they can make money off it. Second, consumers don't punish magazines, TV, or radio for including advertising in otherwise great content or entertainment despite the fact that these mediums are largely ad content. We may all hate having ads pushed at us, but I believe most people accept it as the "payment" for the access to the content or entertainment they get for free. Great post!

There were some really great ideas, examples and best practices to be realized in that link baiting session. Thanks for the links and I like the way you wrapped this up into 3 distinct objectives.
