Are there any trustworthy link exchange forums? I have over 20 PR 4-8 links

I'm locking this question and disabling further replies. If the original poster would like more feedback, it's best to create a new question at this point.

Thank you Keri & Jennita for pointing that out I was wondering how my answer would be taken after the question was re-worded completely.
Noneyes you gave me the good answer and then changed your question and I answered that one as well. You have every right to change your mind on that. I do not mind at all.
So you know it is kind of rough on the people who are answering if you are changing topic of the question instead of just asking a second question.
Noneyes apologize if it sounded harsh.
It was not meant to be mean.
I hope that clears everything up.
Sincerely,
Thomas

It automatically shows that the question has been edited. It is Keri's job to keep the community informed, and she was making sure that people realized that Thomas' original response was because of the edit.

how are you employed? how am i paying for a service that publicly announces if i edit a question
-
Just a quick note that Thomas's answer was made before the question was edited and changed. The response was not to asking for talking about link building, but to a different question. For readers who don't know this, his response looks a bit off and harsh.

Happy to be of help Karen

Thanks Thomas!

quicksprout.com has a Q&A forum I believe at no cost. I do not think you are going to get any answers that will tell you how to acquire links without putting in a lot of effort.
I would recommend reading the Moz SEO guide it is valuable to matter what level you are at and will give you priceless information in Your quest to make a website better.
http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo
Think of it from the end-users perspective and work on it that way.
I would also encourage you to check out http://distiled.net/U
But if you want to build links today you have to think of productive methods in which that website can add value then share them through public relations PR newswire, will get you in front of a lot of journalists and bloggers that will write about your niche if the content is outstanding and worth talking about. If you are not taking advantage of social media twitter, Google plus all those networks will bring attention to your website and people can then link to you naturally.
The building links part of search is in need of a rewrite for name.
I consider link building making the site fantastic and promoting it through legitimate channels.
Think about it no website is going even last if you try to manipulate the system so you want to start off that way. Or if you have traffic you want to destroy it by messing it all up.
I do not know what type of website your discussing or the business that they do however there are ways of getting listed locally that are completely white hat if the site is a local business. You can also make a name for the site in social media and through press releases.
The only place even remotely similar to this that I can think of is quick sprout. I think you will get the same answers that you been getting here.
I hope this is helpful,
Thomas

Is this a joke?
What you are doing is spammy, unreliable and black hat
Do not exchange links that is not how to get ahead.
Your really just hurting yourself by doing it.
Put the links away do not trade links for money or just because you think somebody else might have some fresh links that would help you that is really blackhat
It is against googles policies

Link building - anyone use this technique?
I have had a client come and ask me to do some link building, they are wanting to use a strategy of buying expired domains and creating a single page website with some keyword links back to the main website. Seems like an old idea at best, has anyone used it or is it risky

Uk link building
Hello mozzers, I have a UK website that I have slowly been building high quality links to from highly trusted websites, traffic is slowly but steadily rising. So far all the links i've built are on UK websites. I've discovered there are many opportunities to get links from loosely related US websites. Would links from highly trusted US domains help my UK rankings? Would they help, but not as much as UK links? I'd be very grateful to hear anyones thoughts on this. Thank you so much!

Link building strategy - my weak link!
Please help me understand link building. I've read the articles on Moz, but they seem vague to me. Specific questions: 1. How do I get my webpage on good quality sites? 2. Guest blogging? Good or not? 3. What about when people pick up one of our blog stories and publish it on their site with a link back? Is that bad now because it is duplicate content??? 4. Forum posts with a link in the signature? Good or not? 5. Directories - I get it that these are no longer good... are they severely negative? Should I take them down. 6. PR - Looks like this is bad... right??? 7. Youtube - any value? 8. Pinterst, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram? Any value to backlinks here? 9. What about sites like redit? 10. Anything else I should consider?

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.

A few questions about link building?
1. Is it worth gaining more then 1 link on a website when link building, for example if I did a guest post on a blog, is it worth doing another guest post on the same blog linking to the same website? So 2 guest posts on 2 blogs, or 4 guest posts on 4 blogs? 2. When building links through guest blogging, you have two options, a link in the byline and a link in the content. Will a link in the content have more benefit then in the byline as its surrounded by relevant content? 3. Does having a link higher up the page have more benefit then one lower down?

Link building outsource advice
I have been limping along doing link building myself for several months now. Creating relationships, asking for links, writing some articles and press. So far, decent results, but I need to take it to another level. I used SubmitEdge's 400 manual directory submission product, but still not seeing many links coming from it. So, I would like to hire an onshore SEO to help me with link building. After getting several quotes from reputable companies, I found the process very frustrating. I know this business is not about guarentees, but they all want $600-$1000 per month for a fairly open ended service. All they tell me is that they will submit to directories, social media sites, shopping sites, and some niche sites. No guarentees of how many (or what quality) of links I'll get, or even how much time they even plan to spend. Any suggestions on what I should expect? and any suggestion companies?
