First, you will need to define relevant for you. As to easily located, you will need to define easily. Everyone wants link building that is easy or easy to locate sources for. To date if it were easy, many of us would not be paid.
I would start with what you know about your business (I am assuming you have a few sites that you use and are not an agency). Who would be credible sources for you? Do you blog in that industry? Who does and can do you read them? Can you send out sample blogs or articles to them?
Then, you know who your competitors are most likely. I would look at the higher ranked ones and use Open Site Explorer and see who is linking to them. Those will be likely targets. I would take a look at what that links to/from to get an idea of what the one providing the link wanted. If you are in a highly competitive area like travel, etc. then you will see links that are for Chinese gambling sexual ginseng and you can just ignore them. Look for relevant again.
You will need to read a bit about link building, strategies for asking for links, reporting bad links, etc. Put it in the search bar top right of this page. Then, go reading.
The most important part of SEOmoz is the large group of highly competent (no not me, the others) individuals who answer questions, ask questions back, clarify, re-answer, and nail it. They even point out if they see where you are wrong and admit when they miss the mark. An example of what to read is here in a post from Cyrus Shepherd on Conquering Link Directory Best Practices. There are tons of these type posts and resources.
Are the tools any good? Again I point to the people who post and answer questions how many of them are pro or above members? They are either rich, easy, or they believe in the tools and the people on SEOmoz. But best yet is this, on Christmas Eve at about 230 pm CST I got a call from a potential client who with offices in Africa, South America, and the US who does a lot of business (I have been speaking with him for a couple of months).
While I have Spanish speaking clients and English, I do not have anyone there or with experience in Africa. I told him the truth, if we can't help you there we will tell you. He said, oh, Africa's not that big of a problem...they all speak English and we have feet on the ground. Just the same, if I need help it is here on SEOmoz - but it won't be easy. (Yes, he is now a client).
Read everything you can find on here. When you see someone reference a post or article with a link, go read that. Ask every question you can and don't be afraid to be wrong. If you are willing to work, you can get there. And, if you find an easy way to get some quality, high page rank, relevant links, Please, Please let us know.

Do you mean like... for link building in blogs by commenting?
If this is what you're searching for (and if you're not a spammer in those blogs) - I would suggest that you instead of using any SEOmoz-tool actually Google some keyword relevant to your topic + "blog" or "comment". That will help you find those blogs.
Why look for high PR when you can look for high relevancy and blogs where you actually can contribute something good? Good content is KING
Happy Holidays!

What is the best way to structure website URLs ?
Hi, can anyone help me to understand if having category folder in URL matters or not? how to google treat a URL? for example, I have the URL www.protoexpress.com/pcb/certification but not sure google will treat it a whole or in separate parts? if in separate parts, is it safe to use pcb/pcb-certification? or it will be considered as keyword stuffing? Thank you in anticipation,

International Version of Website
Our website is AluminumEyewear.com and we're considering launching a specific version for Australia, naturally I want to avoid any dupe content issues but the content would largely remain the same. I have read through this post and wondered if the options given here are still relevant? I'm currently leaning towards using a sub-domain, i.e. au.aluminumeyewear.com or should I go for aluminumeyewear.com.au? Will there be dupe content issues if I do that? Confused and hoping for help!

New Website Launch - Traffic Way Down
We launched a new website in June. Traffic plummeted after the launch, we crept back up for a couple of months, but now we are flat, nowhere near our pre-launch traffic or previous year's traffic. For the past 6 months our analytics have been worrying us - Overall traffic and new visitor traffic is down over 10%, bounce rate is up almost 35% since site launched, keywords aren't ranking where they used to, and of course, web sales are down. Is this supposed to happen when a new site is launched, and how long does a new this transition last? We have done all the technical audits, adding relevant content, we're at a loss. Any suggestions where to look next to improve traffic to pre-launch numbers?

What To Do For A Website That is Mainly Images
I have a website that is a desktop wallpaper script. People can come and upload 100's of wallpapers to share with the community. This is were the problems comes in. Files are normally called 27636dark.jpg or whatever and come with no description. This leads to 2 things. no text content that google can use to know what the page/image is about. Meta descriptions, URL's just look like spam. Example: /car-wallpapers/7636dark.jpg If a text description was added, it would still only be like "Green Trees in the distance". Which as you may guess, with 1,000's of wallpapers... would end up having a lot of descriptions the same. Is there any advice for sites that focus on image driven content?
