While we’re on the topic of links and link baiting, let me share this other one I just found out: Are you a Big Fish?

If you put in the URL to your blog and hit enter, it will check your site’s backlinks and rank it according to how big a fish you’re blog is. Here’s mine:

This is just like that “How much is your blog worth?” bait.

Here are the list of big fish ranks:

* Tiny Lil Guppy - Tiny Lil Guppies better watch out. They’re just too small to wander the Ocean alone.
* Small Smelt - Smelts aren’t big and tough. Only Guppies are smaller.
* Medium Herring - Not the scariest fish around, but not one who gets pushed around easily either
* Big Shark - Better not mess with a Big Shark
* Humoungous Sailfish - A fish this size is one to be reckoned with. You better have a big hook to catch this one.
* Freaking Whale - the largest of all creatures in the ocean. Only a few chosen websites can be whales

Unlike in nature, a Guppy can grow to become a Freaking Whale on the internet. Keep acquiring backlinks and your website will grow into the biggest Fish in the Ocean.
