Well if Danny is testing spam (http://daggle.com/060119-123011.html) and many others dream about v7ndotcom elursrebmem,
why shouldn’t I have some fun and play a little with linkbait (http://www.squidoo.com/linkbait/)this weekend?

The thing is this is a transparent one,
you can view the confession made in <!--comment tags--!>

<!-- This is a LinkBait, The only problem is we're not baiting any particular page, somewhat millions of them


I’m curious to see if this will make or break, my first intention was testing Godin (http://www.threadwatch.org/node/4141)’s Squidoo (http://www.squidoo.com/linkbait/) (improvement needed).

Your Thoughts are welcome.

Edited - I sure can complicate sometimes

I'll try and simplify, using regular <!--comment--!> tags at the origin,

The goal here is to let blogers and other web writers the option to link to any definition, thesaurus or translation they need by adding their word to this url:

http://www.babylon.com/definition/

It's a new service with vast of interesting results and options, The "explenation how-to page" is located at squidoo (http://www.squidoo.com/linkbait/)

e.g. - wanna know what mesopotamia means? just add mesopotamia to the url:
http://www.babylon.com/definition/mesopotamia/

need a translation of the word hurricane to spanish - go to this url:

http://www.babylon.com/definition/hurricane/spanish/

I hope it is less demanding now :peep:

Thanks,
It's also pretty useful (No kidding),
I'll use the first explanation version as a "How Not To" casestudy :)
