Sound philosophy, indead!
But, what makes up a good link source? (…as you enticed us to ask questions )

In my opinion, these are some evaluation criteria you should consider:

1. has to have relevance for your blog/website theme;
2. homepage PR of minimum 3 (even better, 4);
3. of course, dofollow enabled;
4. good Alexa ranking;
5. veteran in the niche market

Now, Dee is you call to provide us with additional info

Related to quality backlinks, I tried to draw a solution for how to go about building a valuable backlink portfolio. If you’re interested, here’s the link to my post:

I wouldn’t call it pimping What’s worked for us for getting the top quality links like about.com is finding the blogger(s) in your niche on about.com. Next, see what kind of stuff they link to or write about. Then, create something really good on your site based on your research. Finally, send them an email asking them if could link to it if they think it would be useful to their readers.

Link building is often a numbers game, so don’t be afraid to contact a bunch of bloggers. Many of them are looking for quality content to link to.

Exactly how does one get linked at a site like About.com? Do I just go pimping myself?

I think that the secret of success in the online marketing varies. Determined on the nature of your own websites, the best approach might differed from some other kinds of individual blogs.
In order to lead your own online marketing into success, it’s necessary to check the marketing approaches of different kinds of websites and try to follow the pattern of the websites with similar nature to yours.
However, quality link building is always one of the most important thing for any kinds of SEO businesses.

As a general rule, I don’t like going after links on unrelated sites. Some sites are more relevant than others. The closer the site is related to your site, the better. If your site has a lot of domain trust, you can take more risks and go after links on unrelated sites, but most of your links should come from related sites.

Thanks for sharing the post. I am 100% agree with the fact that quality matters, not quantity. If quantity matters, anybody could have created 100 blogger blog and link back to their original blog. Could you please explain result of links from unrelated high page rank website? Will it increase the blog value in google eyes?

I absolutely concur. What will count more, one link from an authority site like say CNN or a hundred & fifty links from a load of spammy directories?

It is possible to get links from authority sites (well, some of them like the guardian.co.uk for example – a PR9 website) if you know how
