First, you will need to define relevant for you. As to easily located, you will need to define easily. Everyone wants link building that is easy or easy to locate sources for. To date if it were easy, many of us would not be paid.
I would start with what you know about your business (I am assuming you have a few sites that you use and are not an agency). Who would be credible sources for you? Do you blog in that industry? Who does and can do you read them? Can you send out sample blogs or articles to them?
Then, you know who your competitors are most likely. I would look at the higher ranked ones and use Open Site Explorer and see who is linking to them. Those will be likely targets. I would take a look at what that links to/from to get an idea of what the one providing the link wanted. If you are in a highly competitive area like travel, etc. then you will see links that are for Chinese gambling sexual ginseng and you can just ignore them. Look for relevant again.
You will need to read a bit about link building, strategies for asking for links, reporting bad links, etc. Put it in the search bar top right of this page. Then, go reading.
The most important part of SEOmoz is the large group of highly competent (no not me, the others) individuals who answer questions, ask questions back, clarify, re-answer, and nail it. They even point out if they see where you are wrong and admit when they miss the mark. An example of what to read is here in a post from Cyrus Shepherd on Conquering Link Directory Best Practices. There are tons of these type posts and resources.
Are the tools any good? Again I point to the people who post and answer questions how many of them are pro or above members? They are either rich, easy, or they believe in the tools and the people on SEOmoz. But best yet is this, on Christmas Eve at about 230 pm CST I got a call from a potential client who with offices in Africa, South America, and the US who does a lot of business (I have been speaking with him for a couple of months).
While I have Spanish speaking clients and English, I do not have anyone there or with experience in Africa. I told him the truth, if we can't help you there we will tell you. He said, oh, Africa's not that big of a problem...they all speak English and we have feet on the ground. Just the same, if I need help it is here on SEOmoz - but it won't be easy. (Yes, he is now a client).
Read everything you can find on here. When you see someone reference a post or article with a link, go read that. Ask every question you can and don't be afraid to be wrong. If you are willing to work, you can get there. And, if you find an easy way to get some quality, high page rank, relevant links, Please, Please let us know.

Do you mean like... for link building in blogs by commenting?
If this is what you're searching for (and if you're not a spammer in those blogs) - I would suggest that you instead of using any SEOmoz-tool actually Google some keyword relevant to your topic + "blog" or "comment". That will help you find those blogs.
Why look for high PR when you can look for high relevancy and blogs where you actually can contribute something good? Good content is KING
Happy Holidays!

Multilingual Version of a Website
Hi All, We created 'EN' and 'FR' version of a website and translated all labels and message from English to France with the help of Google Translator. Lets take an example: English version URL - https://www.sitegeek.com/softlayer France version URL - https://fr.sitegeek.com/softlayer France version also contain same reviews available on English version page. So the reviews content or language is same on both pages. To eliminate the duplicate content issue we put following meta tags on both 'EN" and 'FR' version pages : So My question is that (1.) Is this the correct implementation of Multilingual Version of a Website? (2.) Is Added meta tags work for both Google and Bing Search engine? (as Bing not indexing all pages) (3.) We are translated labels and messages from Google Translator. Is this the issue pages not being Indexed in Bing? (4.) Finally, What would the correct SEO approch if we translate our site in other languages? Rajiv

Interlinking multiple websites
Most websites (for example) Zalando intern link there other CC tld domains to the root. For example: On http://www.zalando.nl/damesschoenen-pumps/ the links in the footer go to the other CC tld's: http://www.zalando.es , zalando.co.uk etc. Does anyone have experience with the fact if you would interlink to the relevant page on the other CC tld;s.

For example: http://www.zalando.nl/damesschoenen-pumps/ links to http://www.zalando.co.uk/womens-shoes-heels/ in stead of linking to the homepage ?
In theory this would give more relevance intern linking. Looking forward to hear if anyone tried or experienced this and what the results where?0 -
Combining 2 Websites
Any assistance/feedback is greatly appreciated. The scenario: We currently own two website, and we'd like to combine them and eliminate some expenses. Although the content is very similar in nature, it is not exact. www.KF.com that is managed by a third-party provider & www.KFA.com that is managed by the manufacturer of the product we sell. (*sites url's are not accurate) We have ended the contract of KF.com, however, this site has the best SERP/SEO.
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | FX4nWOO
We assume we'll take a hit, no matter what we do - however when it comes to SEO, but what is the right move to make? Do a domain "Transfer/Redirect" of KF to KFA.com or Do we simply change the KFA.com to KF.com? Still very much a rookie when it comes to this stuff. I do have the ability to SEO the KFA.com webiste. Hoping this makes sense - and apologize for the bad url's just not sure I can actually post the true addresses. Thanks in advance.0 -
International Version of Website
Our website is AluminumEyewear.com and we're considering launching a specific version for Australia, naturally I want to avoid any dupe content issues but the content would largely remain the same. I have read through this post and wondered if the options given here are still relevant? I'm currently leaning towards using a sub-domain, i.e. au.aluminumeyewear.com or should I go for aluminumeyewear.com.au? Will there be dupe content issues if I do that? Confused and hoping for help!

New Website.. From where to start with a SEO Plan ?
Hi.. We have got two SEO and link builders working here in the office, putting in efforts is not a problem. And we have been doing SEO for our websites since a long time and they all rank well. Since, I have signed up for SEOMOZ, which is the one stop with all the heavy duty SEO guys, so we would like to get some suggestions from the experts. Ok here is the question. We have launched a new website this week and we have got a new SEO client, whose website is 6 months old. 1. What should be a proper SEO plan for a new website ? Got any Plan PDF or Buleprint, which you can send me ? 2. For the client website , he is ranking on 4-7th pages for his 4 keywords. Whats should be the correct way or plan to start doing SEO for them and get them to the first page ? 3. I feel like, doing competitive analysis is lacking with us and we are not good at evaluating that step. Whats the bet way to do competitive analysis ? 4. We are looking to build more and more links to the website . Whats the best way to make links ? Got any SEOMoz Blog post link, which explain this better or any forum thread which has got the tricks for this ?
