"Make no mistake. This is something of a gimmick, designed to drive traffic and inbound links," said Ken Gaebler, president of Gaebler Ventures. "I'm curious to see if this viral marketing initiative works."

Linkbaiting is a growing phenomenon in the Internet world. A link bait is any content or feature within a site that somehow baits other sites to place links to it. Obtaining inbound links is important because the quantity and quality of inbound links play a big role in determining how a site fares in search engine rankings.

"We've got hundreds of great articles for entrepreneurs, and I've always felt like more people should know about our site," notes Gaebler. "Promoting a site isn't easy because there's so much competition. You've got to try out a few crazy ideas and see what sticks."
