    Do a search on Google for your key words, find the top websites, then see who links to them using the link: search word. Visit each of these sites and see if you can add a link there back to your site. Laborious and time consuming, but if the links worked for the top websites, then they could work for yours.

    Use link: like this (no spaces):
    link:full_url

    Good luck

    i don;t like it either but if i wanna get my site ranked, i got no choice. there are lot of ways to get backlinks. some easy and some a bit challenging. i myself stay away from recip link building as it is not only time consuming to build but also takes a lot of time managing and monitoring.

    best way to do it is to find out where your top competitors are geting link from and see how many of them will be willing to link back to you. if you see site abc.com is on the top for your keyword in google, then i suggest you search yahoo for backlinks for that site as google doesn;t show all the backlinks. search site:abc.com and also site:www.abc.com which will give you backlinks. then ad as many as you can.

    then try to create some links by searching for your keyword with add url or add link (say your keyword is "happy people" then you search for happy people add url) and yuo will find some site where yuo can add some link

    you can also search for free directories and free press release sites and submit there. that will keep you going for a while. and if you still need more links, then there is always option to buy links. you can do that at buy sell links section on DP.

    happy link building

    Write articles and submitting them in articles directories is great way to get more links pointing back to your site.

    The best way I know is to do the search as above, but with a twist: keyphrase+add url
    you can also try +suggest url
    +submit site
    Another great way is to get a competition/authority report on your keywords using an SEO software like SEOSpyglass and offering link with them.
    A hint: convert an inner page (preferably with PR) to a links page of your own. Many sites request reciprocal links, but if they point their home-page-bound link from a page which is not the home page, and you do the same, I think they are less likely to run into whatever filter may exist against mutual links.
    This is just a theory that seems to hold up so far under preliminary testing.
