Adding Quality Backlinks
-
Without sounding like an idiot, what are the best ways in adding good quality back links. There are websites out there such as Click Submit but from experience they just link from weird URL's and the links are in comments.
In an ideal world starting up my own Blogs and building up a good domain authority would work best but the customer would like some back links adding by next week.
Using local directories wouldn't really work for their business so if anyone has any idea's I would love to hear them.

Thanks! Stability and success go hand-in-hand. It's all about the long-term goal.
You're correct with that finding - 33% of people will only click a link in Google's top three organic results.

That is a brilliant quote LJ I may have to use that in the future, the problem with customers who want organic SEO is that they want to see immediate results but with organic SEO I always find that it is more of a long term investment.
I find that most people tend to trust the organic listings over paid anyway.

Brilliant thank you very much for your advice it's much appreciated.

What William has said is spot on. I'd like to add something that I tell my clients, which is if they expect results tomorrow then don't expect to have results next year.
It is vital to build up a foundation of high quality content with an interested audience, this is the key to modern day SEO. Linkbacks need to look natural, not paid for, software generated or anything similar. Google will be able to tell when you have an unnatural influx of links and they will penalise your site for it. You might see some instant results, but you can be sure they won't be long lasting. Explain to your client that it's vital to only use futureproof techniques.

It sounds like your client needs to be educated on how proper link building works. You can't just say, "I need good backlinks, and I need them NOW!"
In order to build good, relevant, safe backlinks, you need to create assets or other ways to attract people to share your content and build links naturally. This takes time and planning. There are quicker grey/black hat ways to build links, but this puts your client's site at risk, and your client needs to know that.
Moz recently came out with a good beginner's guide to link building. Perhaps you can pull some tidbits from that to help your client understand why his/her request is unreasonable. http://moz.com/blog/beginners-guide-to-link-building

Backlinks from subdomain, can it hurt ranking?
I just started doing an SEO audit and noticed I have 40,000 some odd back links from an OLD version of our site that has been moved to a subdomain. The back links are for articles that already exist on our main site. I don't think Google is picking it up as duplicate content because that site isn't being crawled anymore. Could this hurt us SEO wise? I plan on removing the site, but how long after it's been removed should those back links disappear?

Are backlinks to a domain that redirects useless?
I am working on trying to get backlinks. We are currently redirecting a few Domains to our current domain name. One of the Domains that is redirecting is the main Domain, we will be advertising in the near future. Can I send backlinks to the redirected URL or does it only carry link juice if it is to the main Domain?
