Interactive Infographics

Interactive Infographics

Definition: I won't go into too much detail here because it is pretty much covered above, except that in this case, there is an element of interactivity in the graphic. It can be powered by something like JavaScript, CSS or Jquery and allows users to interact with it.

Types of links you get: There is a difference to static infographics in that interactive ones are usually pretty hard to embed. So you tend to get very natural links that are placed on other relevant sites who are interested in the angle of the graphic. Depending on the coding technology you use, you may also attract links from very strong coding websites.

The process: Again, the full process is very long and can take some time, essentially the process is the same as any link bait or infographic except for the coding and development stage.

1. Define the concept of your interactive infographic

2. Find relevant data for this angle

3. Do some pre-outreach to gauge interest on the angle

4. If good, proceed to coding and build

5. Gather target list of websites

6. Give exclusives to high level targets

7. Publish infographic

8. Carry out outreach
