Link Tangent

To click on one link and to be brought to that page, only to find another interesting link on that page and end up clicking on that. This is a common thing that happens on sites like wikipedia and imdb.

Todd got on a link tangent on wikipedia by starting to read about the Spotted Owl and ended up reading about Jackie Chan.

link baiting

The web publishing practice, usually on news or blogging sites, where something controversial is written (or a controversial headling is written) that the publisher knows will get a lot of interest from site visitors.

The ultimate goal is that the link will then appear on link aggregating sites (Digg, Fark, StumbleUpon, College Humor, Drudge, etc.), which will bring even more traffic to the site.

"Hey, look at this! 'Gay Preacher Caught Having Sex With Porpoise!'"

"Hah, looks like link baiting to me."
