Welcome to the Q&A Forum

For us all the really white seo methodes still work really well:

• Press releases
• Guest posting
• Commenting on related sites (valued comments, no spam)
• Asking our clients/partners to link back to us in related topics
• Running social competitions

List goes on and on, but there are lots of stuff you can do that dont cost that much (mostly time..)

But to get a agressive linking to the site we still havent find a way that worked as well the grey/black seo before the update..

We have also shifted focus more and more over to the social game.. Hopefully it will make the big difference in the future..

Good luck

To add some info:

This is what i am afraid of:  http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66356

Would this type of linking be seen as Link Scheme?

Is this a online tool?

I have used SEO Power Suit and their Link Assistant. This tools does all the things you outlined above, and alot more:)
