Make the most out of your infographic link bait

The first step to earning those inbound links is putting something on your site that people will want to link to. Infographics work well because people love to share them.

Here’s a fun example: the Grand Taxonomy of Rap Names.

Now, boys and girls, how could worldfamousdesignjunkies.com have done this even better?

How about offering an embed code that contains a link to the large image?

Maybe a title tag that begins with keywords or “The Grand Taxonomy of Rap Names” both for SEO and usability?

Lastly, they only have a Facebook like button on the page. At least give it Tweet This and social bookmarking site buttons.

Great content + sharing strategy + on-page optimization = search success.
