Here is one of my favorite techniques:

Here's a little tool that you can use for free right now to spy on your competitors' backlinks: Backlinks Checker Tool - Backlink Watch

Just go to the site, enter your competitor's website, and reveal many of their backlinks in a matter of minutes!

How can this tool help you? Use your imagination. If you see that the site that your competitor's backlink is placed on allows dofollow comments (the tool shows this), go make a comment on that same site using your keyword as the anchor text!

This is what i do every day to build links and so far it has worked wonders;

1- Comment on 5 blogs that have commenteluv enabled.

2- Submit 1 article using article marketing robot (you can use article submission helper which is free).
3- Turn the same article to pdf and submit to scribed and a few other documnet sharing sites.

4- Submit 1 article (manually) to top 5 article directories.

5- Build a few links using any of the blog networks out there like BMR.

6- Post 5 times on any forums I participate in.



If I have time that day, I would also:

7- write and submit a guest post to a related blog.

Thanks everybody for their kind replies..

have to agree with seo spyglass. The best way to find out in seo what works is to analyse the backlinks to successful sites. Where are they getting their links from, what anchor text using, pr of pages they are getting links from, whether they have many relevant links etc. That in my opinion is the best way to learn. There is so much BS in the seo world that the best way imo to learn what works is to find out for yourself.
