Social bookmarks, directory listings and forum posts from an outsourcer are probably not good links. Good links are links you get editorially - guest blogs, linkbait, content marketing, high quality directories, etc. Good links are a lot harder to get than posting a bookmark or submitting to a directory. Don't get discouraged, though - there are a lot of good resources that can help you.
Here are a few resources that come to mind:

Keyword domain names mean very little. What means everything is your actual company name and how trendy the name sounds and how easy it is to remember. Some of the best ranking companies in certain market segments don't have keywords but they are always #1 in every keyword search. Think about zappos.com which is the worlds largest online shoe store and they do over 1 billion in sales a year. No keywords in the name there but its short sweet and people like it.
Now that doesn't mean not do it. Rather it means don't let this be your focus. A company IMO needs a quality name and slogan behind that name to show what they are about. We operate several websites and some that use keywords and some that don't. Ironically the ones that don't often dominate. If you have a good back links, social media marketing and really good quality content, then your probably going to rank well. Its the cookie cutter websites that often have a hard time as they don't have unique content to go anywhere. Good luck and I hope that helps.

It's surely black hat tactics. How do they get away with this? The website has zero content beyond light brochureware.

We are moving to HTTPS and wanted to know if our link building efforts were in vain or will the link juice pass to HTTPS?
We are switching to HTTPS and want to make sure the links we've gotten in the past will still transfer since they are pointing to HTTP? I'd hate to go back through and ask people to please add an s to the link.

Link building during link removal
We were advised by out outsourced link removal vendor not to build any links while they are removing links pointing to our site. I am worried that our site will lose significant traffic if we dont build any new links while waiting for them to remove links that caused our site to be penalized. What are your thoughts?

Link Directories - Good or bad?
I've just done a search on open site explorer for a competitors site that has is ranked number one. Most of their highest authority backlinks are from link directories. I just read an article on here saying to stay away from directories that state things like 'seo friendly directory'. Many of my competitors links are from these kind of sites! Will it harm me to get links from such sites? It seems to be working for my competitors.... confused.com!

Link Building - Goals and Expectations
I'm trying to set concrete goals around link building and I'm wondering if anyone has any insight on what is reasonable to expect. If we are reaching out to 10 sites a day in a non-spammy, relevant way, is it reasonable to think that we'll get 5 links back, 2 links? I just don't know. Tips and tricks are welcome too!!
