Many SEO's have already heard of link baiting, which is pulling media attention to your website and gaining links when other people are talking about it. Well Graywolf had come up with a new method of link baiting - picture baiting.

He defines this as a way of using pictures to attract attention. He claims it as "Environmentally Friendly Link Bait", which I don't understand that well. He used the following picture as an example:

A similar way to use picture baiting can be on Digg Videos and Podcasts. As you may have noticed, Digg will display an image to the left of the video or podcast. If you already know this, why not put up a picture which others are attracted to take a second glance at? It would definitely lead to more Diggs than putting up an image of something which won't get a second glance.

This is definitely a good marketing tip to getting more clicks/diggs/traffic.
