Generating traffic is what most websites seek for. One of the methods used by webmasters is to link their sites to others in order to gain more traffic known as link building. More website owners depend on link building such that they have to beg big website owners to link to them. Others pursue the harder way by writing so many articles to generate clicks.
However, if you have one of those websites publishing good quality content, chances are you could make use of link baiting. Webmasters would actually be the ones running after you for a link to them from your site, since your website boasts of well written and informative content that would interest web users and is authoritative.
