Good infographics are excellent for attracting links. By gathering information and visualising it in an interesting or unique way, it's possible to create a great deal of interest.
Take Business Management's infographic 'The Amazing World of Coca-Cola' for example. Just by taking a few facts and figures about the drinks company and presenting the data in a fun way, it was able to attract some valuable links.
It's such a simple idea and done well, has the potential to be an incredibly powerful piece of content.
