Link building - Do follow sites

Hi guys

Could you help me with finding do-follow sites (blogs, forums)
for my niche?

It's about self-development/psychology/successful mindset
anything around it is fine.

I know that you have to post links within your niche and also on high trusted general sites

So my questions are:

1) What are the techniques you use to find Do-follow sites within your niche to post authority links on?

2) What are the general sites you use for links (not within your niche - please cite a few)

3) If you could tell me anything about other types of link building, perhaps some new method or a more automated way (but that could last)
Some other sites, any new information (or links to threads on this forum) - I will gladly appreciate


Please be specific, I'm kind of a newbie.

Thank you in advance

 

Do follow is the very important is the back links so in my point of the view this are the best sites for getting the more backlinks
*forums
*articles submission
*press release
*posterous

 

I'm not wasting in searching. I'll outsource this kind of project.

 

Both no follow and do follow help rankings so stop with this non sense

No follow don't help PR but who cares about PR ... RANKINGS are all that maters ...

 

Try to do your every work do follow sites.

 

I usually try to contact the guys, who semrush advises me. there are two tables: the potential buyers and sellers of traffic. I'm talking about the link with them.
