Comics Make Great Link Bait
One of our clients posted a comic we created for them on their blog. While being funny and a nice 5 second distraction for your day, this comic also offers the potential for outside sites to link to them. In other words, this comic and comics in general make great link bait. You may wish to entertain this idea of comedy and SEO for your clients or maybe you already have. We would love to see other examples of comics and link building you have used or you have found being used. Add any good finds to the comments below.
We did something similar when we created the first ever monthly SEO Comic a few years ago.
Here is the Bad to the Bone comic from our client. (Love the comic name.) And here is the comic itself.
Shell Harris co-founded Big Oak on January 1, 2004. In a previous career he was a print & web designer and often developed the sites he designed before focusing on his current passion for search engine optimization and Internet marketing. He is an avid researcher, SEO specialist, company mouthpiece and is always looking for the next big thing in Internet Marketing.

Comics are indeed a very effective link bait strategy. Comics strips can say and depict in a few words and expressions what sometimes can take an entire article to write about. When someone doesn’t have the time to read an entire article, that same person can always spare a minute or two to read a strip.
