Link bait is content on your site to which other sites link because they want to, not because you ask them to. Traditionally, links are hard to get, requiring you to sacrifice your first born child (and at least link back, which nullifies their value in some search engines.) But with link bait, you "bait" your content and sit back and wait. Of course, you can be a little proactive and get a viral story going, too.
So, how does link bait help your SEO?

• It creates more links to your site, which really do help you in the search engines. If you don't believe that, try a search on "click here." Furthermore, the links come to you -- you don't have to get on your knees and beg for the links.
• It creates more links to your site, which send potential customers your way. After all, the whole purpose of SEO - coming up high in the search engines - is about reaching more people.

Though the impact of link bait is far reaching and pervasive, it should be employed judiciously. You need to make sure the resource no matter whether it is freebie or good content or any other thing that they are good enough to seize the attention of the visitors otherwise; you will never be able to get positive outcome at the end.

Link Bait is a supporting text that attracts users to click on the link.

Link bait is another good strategy in doing a SEO work. It can be a description or an image wherein it describes the link which is pointing out in a website. It's purpose is to attract visitors to come with the site which is on the link provided by a simple sentence or image and if the visitors find it quite interesting, the tendency is that they will click the link and browse the website so that they will see how good or what services it does.

Any content or feature within a website that somehow baits viewers to place links to it from other websites. Link bait can be an extremely powerful form of marketing as it is viral in nature and can impact visibility in search results.

Link bait is just a reciprocal link is a mutual link between two objects, commonly between two websites to ensure mutual traffic.

Can you please give some examples of link bait.

The art of link baiting still goes back to the basic simple rule of having quality and informative content. Other than that, there's no short cut in it.
