From Twitter with Love: The Ultimate Romantic Linkbait

SEO digest

When Rand Fishkin managed to get engaged and generate hundreds of links at the same time, he realised that there might just be something in this RomanceBait idea.
Since the partnership between SEOmoz and Distilled began, ideas had been floated for creating new linkbait along similar lines. After a late-night brainstorm, the concept of having almost simultaneous weddings on either side of the Atlantic moved into planning stages.


No doubt those from the SEOmoz HQ are planning a post about how it went down in Oregon, so here's a quick roundup of the online side of the wedding here in Scotland. (For the benefit of Americans who've never had a chance to visit, Scotland comprises of 30,000 square miles of heather-covered hills and two thousand castles; the main hobbies are drinking whisky and haggis hunting.)

Live Twittering from the Groom allowed people all over the world to follow the day's proceedings.


 
 The organic traffic drawn by the weekend's blog posts highlights the importance of unexpected long-tail searches.


Of course, this post is set in an alternate reality. No one's that addicted to linkbait, right?
Congratulations to Will and Heather, Rand and Geraldine.
