Best methods to find link exchanges

I know there's probably no better way to find good link exchanges than contacting the owner of a website directly but what other efficient ways are there of getting them?

I used to have a list of websites that you could find and post your website on for link exchanges in specified categories, this was superb as it was pretty easy to find other website that were closely matching the content you want to exchange links with - has anyone got similar websites they can post URL's too, it would be really helpful!?

Building link exchanges is on the cards at the moment so any advice on finding more would be great, thanks in advance everyone.

 

Do a google search and find the authority sites in your niche.
Then contact personally their owners and kindly ask for a link exchange.
Depending on your site (quality, etc.) you will have a success.

 

dont overlook the link exchange section of this forum. also you can find similar forum for link exchange service. this way you can find related sites/links easy.

 

ask for link exchanges lol, best method on my mind right now - you can ask in the BST board in this forum. Also other marketplace or webmaster forums too, saves u trouble and time of searching for the sites yourself
