I have been working hard for recovering my website from google penalty. Thank God I am back on search engines. I am very alert about making new links. Very confused which backlinks work I need to start with? Please advice. All suggestions are welcome.
To gain trust and prevent any triggers use social media signals without keyword, just url and post. Bookmarking only use brand and for direct links look for high trust score in majestic it will create: Relevancy, Authority and Trust. http://www.genesisevolutionmedia.com/
If you get quality links then your site will never penalise in future. Don't get paid links or bad quality links only focus on quality links. I think you need to start with directory submission and RSS submission. Submit your site on high page rank directories. Quality is much better then quantity.
