Hi Christopher
Link Round ups and Resource pages are quite common on the web especially with bloggers.
I wrote a post about finding and approaching these types of sites...

"Resource Lists and Link Round ups",Can you add a little explaination on what and how of this tool?

Hi Christopher (great name by the way)
When it comes to link building it really depends on the niche, the budget and strategy of the overall campaign as to what types of links I would advise anyone to go after.
1. Guest Blogging on Real Sites with Real Communities (not those glorified article directory blogs)
2. Resource Lists and Link Round ups if you have a high quality resource don't be afraid to ask other webmasters to link to you
3. Infographics - Data Visualisations really go down well in certain niches - in other areas they've been done to death
4. Broken Link Building and Helping Webmasters clean up technical site issues
If you are still struggling for inspiration then I recommend you check out this post

and I have a list of my favourite link building blogs here:

But as Mike King says "its about making friends or making the news"

Christopher, our Q&A system sometimes is slow and multiple identical responses get posted on occasion. Heather was not trying to spam, it was our fault. We have a system upgrade coming next week that should fix this.

Building value and delivering it surely thats the essence of today success.This is what every one wants.The Search engines and the users.I have recently developed a blog about forums.
http://forumlist.info/
It give the users list of relevant forums of there topic.
Jumping high in alexa and even PR 1 of all internal pages and old post in less than 6 months with out SEO.Surely moving on my questions.Still there are some ways if not many we can create some good backlinks.Guest blogging voice I hear every where.People says Forum/blog posting with little different still on song. here is what I get one example of PR from you and some one else.I am all confuse hearing too many opinions so I just step ahead and asked you guys for some real life experience.
If the other practices still work what cares a person needs to take on creating backlinks from them. -
Heather Baker Its like you try to add some spam here.One post is enough at a time.If you are real than answer me How can I add backlink in PR.I read a post in SEL claiming that the world of PR is over and in case you still do it.Do it for press publication with one or two open URL.Anchor text PR no longer have same value because people abruptly use it to manipulate rank.

Hey Christopher,
Great Question. This is a topic really close to my heart as I consider myself primarily a link builder before an account manger.
The way I create backlinks for large ecommerce platforms (1 million+ visits from search per week) has reverted back to the more traditional way of doing marketing and PR, it now just has a SEO twist to it.
Building out the assets you have on your site is key here. For example, if you are an optician, perhaps you should build out a widget that allows users to take a picture with there webcam and add the new glasses range to see how they look. Then set up a press release and contact some of the industry bloggers about it and see if they would be interested in writing about it. Then support this through the companies brand social channels.
If you are a local business, I would say you need to go back to the 1940s ways of doing business and get to know your neighbour and start giving back to the community in order to get those prized links. For example, if you are a removal service in a University town, you should be offering students big discounts on your service and contacting the university to get them to link to your site in the online student starter packs.
Basically, building a value proposition and telling people about it is the new link building tactic. It's the only thing that is truly scalable and search engine safe.
All the other tactics like guest posting, PRs, blog comments, directories all still work, but the approach is totally different. You just need to be much more selective about who you choose to interact with and where you spend your time.
I made a video response talking over this. Apologies for the lack lustre voice, I have a cold right now.
Cheers,
Ross

Hi Christopher. Public relations works really well for quality link building:

Should I embark on this long term link building campaign?
I've been planning to set out on a massive link building campaign for the term 'how to start a business' and I can't decide if it's a good idea or not. (Metrics attached - my site is the last listed and the ones above it are the top ranking for that term) The sites ranking for that terms are on very authoritative domains, but the page link profiles on each of them are poor. This is one of those moments where you think, 'Am I about to waste a tremendous amount of time?' My guide is extremely thorough and I had hoped with a MASSIVE amount of elbow grease outranking pages that had poor content value + only has 4 referring root domains. The problem is, I'm not sure if the powerful overall domain authority would still outrank my newer site. Should I follow through with that general guide or focus on less hard to rank and less searched content? Argh confusion GB3jcsJ.png?1

I need help finding a link building professional
I understand that some may respond to this question advising that we should concentrate on building good quality content, and eventually the links will come. And I do agree. The problem is that while we are implementing a content strategy and we're absolutely focused on creating unique, quality content for our audience, we're also a brand new business with a current grand total of (wait for it...) - 4 back-links! So while we're devoting our efforts to create the most engaging content we can, we need to find someone that can help us build our back-link profile and help to promote our brand and content in the most legitimate way possible. Obviously typing "SEO" into Google is not necessarily the most effective way to find the right person for the job and I'm a bit apprehensive about posting ads on eLance, oDesk, etc Does anyone have any idea how we can find someone smart and highly experienced that understands the importance of doing this right? We are Australian based but they don't have to be local. Thanks in advance. Stu

Do you stop link building once you have your desired rank?
So with all these updates hitting sites left, right and center. Now you have your desired rank on Google, do you stop link building for that project? I can see some positives in this You will not add links that will get hit by future updates. If you do get hit in future updates you have less links to remove. Obviously it an outstanding link came along from BBC or CNN you would go for that. But press releases etc would you now stop anything like that?

Link building- Point us in the right direction
We are currently fixing crawl errors and other on page issues and have taken on board that 'content is king' and have invested a lot of time and resources into writing unique content on each of the several hundred pages on our ecommerce site (not just to avoid duplicate content but add researched content that will hopefully enhance the user experience and allow them to make the best choice of products) and earlier this year started blog writing regular content about updates, industry trends and current events e.g. Euro 2012 (all content relevant to our sector and/or products). So we are actively working to improve our SEO (and also have regularly updated social media accounts with healthy number of followers) but the problem is link building as we work in a sector where the content isn't really all that exciting so getting link backs from sharing our written content is rare and also doing an infographic and/or guest blogs would not bring anything exciting. So how do we go about building white hat links? The only thing I can see is maybe doing press release submissions but from research there is mixed feelings about this. Any advice that could point us in the right direction would be appreciated.
