Linkbaiting is an SEO technique where you put some content (images, infographics, content, audio, video) out on the Internet that creates a buzz.  And this buzz leads to a lot of back links to your site.  This is one of the best techniques for generating back links.

Linkbait is anything that will start a buzz and get lots of people visiting and linking to your site.

You can create a controversial blog post or page, a simple video that catches the readers imagination (think of Google's super bowl ad), or an eye appealing graphic with information on it that people enjoy.  Anything that will cause a buzz.
