Wordtracker Linkbuilder v SEOSpyglass v. Market Samurai

Would appreciate some responses to the following question.

We're able to produce our own articles, and have a few high-quality sites. Most of the articles are keyword-oriented.

I'd like to spend the next few months building backlinks to our sites. The best strategy for this seems to be a combination of article marketing (submitting articles to other sites in our niches) and just asking for sites to link to us in their blogrolls or similar site lists.

In order to focus our efforts, of course, we're trying to find sites that already link to other successful sites in our niche.

I have a copy of Market Samurai, but I can't really make sense of their "link value". Similarly, I have a copy of SEO SpyGlass, which (apart from taking forever to compute) I can't really make sense of. It's very hard to tell which links are valuable.

Is WordTracker Linkbuilder worth the investment, considering that what I intend is a manual, site-by-site approach? The demo of it that the owner produced seems to show exactly what I want - a way to prioritize which backlinks are valuable.

But it's expensive.

Any advice?

    You'll have to define what is a valuable backlink for you.

    Start the Wordtracker link building trial like I did. It does find many backlinks (some of them are not valid). There still is a lot of manual work involved to pick out links which you find "valuable". It looks like they find number of backlinks important, but it's unclear to me if they involve other measurable factors. What I do like is that they seem to be able to categorize the backlinks (blogs, social media, etc.)
