There’s a reason that SEOBook’s 100 Ways to Build Link Popularity in 2006 post started with lists…they’re perfect for internet marketing.

People like lists. Lists can present a great deal of information in a crisp, clean and easy to follow format. And due to the fact that people love them, they also make good link bait material and content for online article submissions. The key to turning lists into good SEO linkbuilding tools is simple. Somewhere in your list include a relevant hyperlink with good anchor text to the site you’re trying to rank. The more your list gets circulated, the better your site will fare. So make ‘em fun, make them clever and make them interesting.

If you’re a good great list-maker, you can become a great link builder. You just need to be creative.
