6.) Blogging and Commenting

We can have our blogs or can ask some bloggers to provide links to the website for which we seek optimization for. Also we can visit someother blogs and comment for their articles, by providing our link. This is also one way to aquire links

7.) Forum Postings

Forums are also one way of acquiring links. We can discuss on some good topic, where more number of poeple will participate. Here in forums, signature are considered important. we can either provide the link or  just hyperlink the keyword, so that the forum vistors would click the link to know more about the person who has contributed to the forum. Real interesting topics will fetch good amount of traffic to the website.

Also note that while running a link building campaign, check out the page rank for better results. If the page rank is higher than yours, then it must be your target to get a link.
