Please critique my link building plan

Hello,
Here's my revised link building plan for
Let me know if I'm off or missing anything.
1)Identify a list of competitors that are strong enough to have good backlinks (probably about 15 in our industry
-
Look at top content for top competitors and see what type of content is being linked to.
-
build infographics for each area we want to target based on top content
-
Using OSE, analyze competitor backlinks and decide which sites might link to the infographics and which sites might just link to us if we asked them (our site is already an authority). In this step we would also expand the backlink analysis to include sites on pages 4-8
Only choose link aquisition for sites based on the following criteria:
Age
A lot of unique content
A clean site
Backlinks going to that site
Facebook followers
Which of course means high search engine rankings
- Publish infographics and do outreach
-
-
Yes, I forgot to include keyword research. It's such a normal part of what I do that I forgot to include it in the list.
Thanks for reminding me Salman

In my opinion you should add "keyword analysis" into your plan as you will need to have your targeted keywords handy for anchor text when requesting / creating a backlink from any other website.
Also looking for keywords that are not well targeted by your competitors would be an easy job for you to gain.

Spam Link Building Discovered - What would you do?
Hi Mozers, After investigating our no 1 competitor we have discovered their 87k back links comparing to ours 1k. After dipper investigations we discovered that all the back links are gained by the websites created by themselves. So what they did is - they had purchased 10+ domains and created 10+ new websites that are identical as their original .com version. EVERY SINGLE LINK on these 'new' websites link to their .com version. The 'New' websites are not indexed. Literally each of us can do the same and gain thousands of back links, but isn't it violating google's policy? What are your thought on it? (What is the best practice to report the violation of google's policy to Google?) Best regards, Lana

Multiple link building strategy for multiple clients
We deal with about 200 clients for a series of websites. We create a number of articles articles per site per month. A company we used to do link building for the websites it turns out were doing a lot of spinning which has been hard hit by the new penguin update. I'm actually really happy about it as it means we can now do some legitimate SEO on their sites. Any ideas of what the best strategy would be for this amount of sites which we are already creating shareable content for?

What are your favorite link building tools?
I know there are a bunch out there, but I'd love to hear your guys thoughts. The more tools you post, and the more unknown they are (i.e. everyone knows OSE, Raven Tools, Buzzstream, Ontolo, etc.), the more I'd love the answer. Also, it doesn't have to be a comprehensive tool. Even if it's a bookmarklet, or something that solves one specific tedious task, I'd love to hear about it! 🙂

Building a link building team
I just joined SEOmoz and I have enjoyed all the information. I currently outsource link building to an agency that charges $50 per link. For this, they handle the anchor text creation, the surrounding text and solicitation, acquisition and monitoring. I know they send the actual work to their independent contractors. How do you find those independent contractors so that I can build my own network of contractors and save the client money?
