How about just building lots of good links out

Then going asking for inbounds

I think many people seem to do links as an after though, why not include it in the strategy of the site design from the beginning.

So when designing the site integrate some good quality outbound links, including some text acquired from the site you link to, into your design.

Then launch the site to the world and go and ask everyone you link to for links back. Some will and some won't but you have built a "quality" site, with lots of cheap quality content taken from their sites.

Hence the site will have some nice inks in and some cheap content. Then you can aggresively go link hunting.

View the iste as a resource for your the viewer then they will come back again and again.

When building a site using the content from other sites, make sure you understand all the copyright implications. The fact that some content is easy to copy does not mean it is free or "cheap".

Generally, I agree that the linking strategy should a part of overall site strategy, not just an add-on.

Agreed Starec

We have found that actually asking other sites what they would like us to put works a treat.

When we work to get Links, people tend to get on things which are easy and or maybe cheap.

SOme SEO firms also do BAD things for SEO UnEducated clients like Linking from Guestbooks, FFA Websites, Link Farms and MOST of all Search Engine Cloakers.

I use lots of other sources of One Way Linking and it seems to work well for me.
