What linkbuilding techniques are working right now after google's recent update?

I'm facing some issues after the google's recent update, been using blog networks, blog comments, web 2.0 submissions, directory submissions etc

What techniques works now? i don't see any improve from web 2.0 these days may be we need to get enhance ? may be curated content?

to what extent i understand this, i think they all are low quality backlinks which all the other blackhat markets use previous, and it even gets worst if we keep on doing this --- for the last 1-2 weeks i've stoped linkbuilding just searching for something concrete with this regard, because backlinks that are DoFollow is necessary to have! any thoughts on working techniques that won't harm my rankings?

I suggest to search for such blogs manually and not submit to any blog networks - that way you keep your risk of getting caught in spam lower. Write a personal email to them if you find a potential blog and write them a custom offer, that works best.

and it doesn't have to be only guestblogging. Also, get your business partners etc. to link to you. What you need is some nice variation and not all links coming from the same type of website.

So just guestblogging then? any places to get as many blogs as possible to write to?

as old as it may sound... but provide good content to the sites you want links from. one of the most successful strategies in my opinion, is still offering sites custom content according to their needs: offer to write them a specific article about the topic they desire. have the article include a link to a helpful page on your site.

of course, try to get good variation in the domains you chose to get links from. steer clear of spammy sites. and make sure you have a lot of anchor text variation. a LOT! in my experience, overoptimization of anchor text and only using the same kind of blogs for backlinks is what can hurt most.
