When link building yourself where would you advise are the best places to add links?

Hi
I am not having much success with SEO companies so am looking at link building and doing SEO myself. Where would you advise are the best places to add links? Also is it better to add links to specific pages or just to the home page?
Thanks in advance

Thank you for the advice:)

Be careful. What used to work a few years ago in terms of link building can get you penalized now.
For the vast majority of cases, any link that you can make yourself is an unnatural link. So, if you're thinking of syndicating articles or doing a pile of directory submissions that's a bad idea. Still, there are a few places where it can be ok to make your own link such as valid industry directories.
SEOs who are being successful in this new age of SEO are ones who can creatively think of ways to attract links. A few naturally earned links will often outperform a bunch of self made ones.

In the Moz Research Tools drop-down menu, you will find "keyword analysis". Choose that and you will see a box where you can enter your keywords of interest--they will then appear in the "keyword difficulty and analysis" table below. Choose one and click on "view". This will create a report for you, which will include the top ten ranked pages for your keyword. (You can run an advanced report from there to get even more information.)
As far as replicating links, for Moz tools there are the competitive link finder and the link acquisition assistant, which you can find in the left column on the research tools page, under more tools & resources. You might also be interested in the "Beginners Guide to Link Building", which you can find here.

Thank you so much for responding,
Sorry if this sounds like a silly question but I am completely and totally new to this.
How would I localize the top domains from the keywords I want to rank?
Also how would I do step 3?
Thanks again

One tip that is really working 4 me
1. Localize the top domains from the keywords you want to rank.
2. Check their link profile with a software like "Open Site Explorer".
3. Localize the repicable links, and replicate them
Do not generate all links on the same day/week/month. Link building needs to be progressively done. It´s an ant work

Best Methods - Link Building
We are having more and more "new" customers coming to us who have been hit by various algorithms imposed by google. After we have run a site health check and corrected everything, we plan and come up with a link development plan which suits the clients needs. Much of out link development work is safe comprising of; 1. Guest Blog Posts - where we develop creative content with the customer to publish. 2. Industry blog posts - where bloggers write about i.e. "the company" 3. Social media - posting pictures, commenting on forums, etc 4. Paid directories with authority We don't develop links in any other way and it brings results in the long term. Is anyone out there doing something else? Link building can sometimes be like walking on a tight rope. Thanks and happy holidays Gary - Elite Group Marketing London

Best Blog Post Length to get Links
Okay, kind of silly question but i am looking for some help interpreting an analysis done by John Doherty almost a year ago: http://moz.com/blog/what-kind-of-content-gets-links-in-2012 In the document he mentions the correlation that longer posts on average receive more links but the graphs were really hard to interpret (for me). Based on the data what is the correct size we should shoot for (most graphs were missing labels). Any one have any insight? Should i shoot for 300 words per post, higher, etc? Thanks! Kyle

Can anybody recommend a link building company for outsource?
I am about to land another fat client and it's in a highly competitive industry. While looking at the competition, it is clear to me that the competitors have an SEO link building team. Since Americans are too expensive for the budget allocated to this project, I need to outsource to India, Philippines, or some third world nation. CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND A GOOD LINK BUILDING COMPANY IN A DEVELOPING NATION (EDITED: 3RD WORLD) COUNTRY?
