Happy to help. Bear in mind that link directory links are quite worthless, blog comment links not too useful.

I believe in Google and SEOmoz Toolbar. Go to Google and start going through queries related to the landing pages the rakings of which you are trying the improve. You can also try this tool http://www.seomoz.org/labs/link-intersect.
Make a list of all the search results you find which are highly related and have a decent page authority, domain authority and Moz Trust rank. What numbers are decent? Depends on your language and niche. I prefer sites that have better ranks than the site Im linking although this does not apply for very new domains with weak ranks.
When you have an abundant list on urls start going through them to find ways to get your link sneaked in somehow. Comment, add link, post an article all make your job easier but often mean lower quality links. Contacting the webmasters to propose exchanging a quality article for a few links might do the trick in some niches. Indirect link trading is one of my favorites. Obviously you can just pay for links as well although this a method I tend to avoid.
Whats the best way to get a large number of links in the long run? Good content. Your content should be high quality enough to draw links on its own. It will do so more likely if you remind your visitors to link you and make it as easy as possible. You are the best judge of what content will draw links in your niche. Doesn't hurt to do some keyword research and figure out if there are topics not yet covered by other sites - those are great link baits.
I also tend to be active on sites which have linked me or from which I want a link from. A few good comments might well lead to a do follow link to your website in a blogs next article. And its always nice to say thanks when this happens - not least to ensure some follow up links in the future :).
Also remember that link building is an on-going process. You want a steady, constant flow of links. Not 1000 links today and none for the next 6 months!
Hope this helps

I tend to try to aim for links from pages with a high PA score. I find sites related to mine and contact them to ask them for a link. I sometimes offer to write content for them in return.

What is the best white hat seo link building strategy?
My goal is to build links that comply with Google's Quality Guidelines. I am wondering what is the best way to approach webmasters or bloggers about submitting guest posts or writing content. I have done a competitive analysis, and have a list of potential link sources, but I am not sure what approach to take next. Any advice or strategy would be appreciated.

Is a no-follow link/sponsored link a good editorial link?
Ok maybe this is a dumb question. I really need some better, more quality backlinks pointing to my site. There is a site that has domain authority of 72, page rank 5 that is offering me a sponsored blog post. Do sponsored posts count as a good editorial link? Also what if they are no-follow (and how would I find out ahead of time), does that still give me link juice?

Link Building the Right Way?
There are still a few things that I need clarifications for link building. I have joined many forums and I am following some big website (Seomoz / search engine watch / search engine land) and such for ideas about link building. There are various different suggestions among them for example about Create a blog, Profile links, Article directories,Web 2.0 submission,Press release submission, Infographic submissions,Company directory submissions,Video submissions,Niche specific directories,Logo/Graphic/Web design directories,Free web directories,Non-English directories,RSS directories,Guest posting,Games Submission's and social bookmarking, Blog commenting, Forum posting.Q&A,Wiki Links,Local listings,Getting trackbacks. one would say to use it the other would say not to, can you please guide as to what is the right way to follow these suggestions. Also nofollow backlinks have any effect on the SERP? Thanks.

How do I build links for an Auto Detailing Company?
How do I go about building links for my website www.capitolshine.com Are there places I don't want to have my links? How do I know? How do I reciprocate? Where would I put a link on my website without looking like I'm just selling out to anybody who asks? And how do I actually put the links on my site? Do I need a separate page?

Do industry Forums really help build links?
I've read that one way to build some links to your site is to contribute to a industry specific forum that is popular and pretty active. I've started doing this for about 2 months now. This particular forum allows your signature to include your websites name. When I look for links with the Seomoz tools and the new Bing tools I never see this forum appear(showing links to my site). So my question is should I continue to answer questions on this forum or is it a waste of time? And does this usually take a long time i.e lie years? Thanks, Cesar
