Ideas on getting your competitors to link to you

How to get your competitors to link to you

[OcalaPCGuy]

I am looking for ideas on how to get my competitors (either local or national) to link to my site.

1) Link Bait
2) Write a scathing review of them.
3) Publish something in the local newspaper

Please post your ideas or your opinion on this idea in general.
