Hi,

I have written an article on link baiting that I want to be evaluated by people who are experienced in this field.

Could someone help me out on this one please.

Regards,
Anand

why don't you post your article here and just wait for some criticize afterwards

Because then when he posts it to his site, it will be duplicate content.

You would also presume that given the author's awareness of 'link bait' he/she would be interested in getting people to visit his/her site.

I read the article but it doesn't seem to offer anything more than common sense advice that anybody would think of if they sat down for 30 mins.

The advice is pretty basic, but it is all good advice. I think the article is decent. However I would suggest following one of your own tips and make it a list post.

Maybe

or something like that.

I have one thing to say with regard to this so-called article, in addition to what gringo and vangogh already pointed out:

Proper use of formatting, grammar – People like to read properly formatted articles rather than encouraging an odd color here and there. A single spelling mistake in the first few sentences is enough to kill your article before it begins to grow.

Physician, heal thyself with Microsoft Word...and what the heck does "encouraging an odd color here and there" mean? You lost me there, and I'm not exactly an easy person to confuse.

Because this is not an "article" dump site and it would be deleted.

Something to do with multicoloured ink exchange maybe? Maybe it's about relevant reciprocal ink exchange - swapping blue inks for red inks, or black for invisible ink? Alternatively, it's going back to Adam's infamous green PR pens...
