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."

I was supposed to be writing a paper about slavery, but I went link mad and realized that, after 3 hours of surfing, I had learned more about sharks, sub-atomic particles, and the history of porn than I had about slavery.

The state of being too lazy to click a link and read its associated content. The most common cause of link laziness is for one to be overwhelmed by the amount of information available on an online forum or news site. Someone who is link lazy would prefer to hover their arrow over a link title to view a brief snapshot of the content, in order to decide if the text or story is worth reading, rather than to click the link and read the whole post or article on its own page.
While skimming the news on Google, I ran across a link titled, "Mel Gibson Tells Jay Leno About His Eighth Child: 'I Guess I'm ...", and I just wasn't interested enough to read the rest of what he said. I'm so link lazy.
