Here is a tip for building links. Check to see your competitors backlinks.

Most major search engines let you search to see some or all of the web-pages that they have indexed as linking to a certain other website or web-page. For example, preforming the search “link:website.com” on Google or Yahoo will return a list of web-pages that link to pages on website.com.

First, check to see where your competitors get links. Then see if you can get links from the same websites or using a similar method. For example, you might come across niche directories that link to your competitors website that will allow you to submit links. You can also email the webmasters linking to your competitor and ask them to link to you. That will work most effectively if your website is actually better than your competitor’s website.

However it happened, websites that are linking to your competitor’s website are likely to have a way for you to get a link from them to your website.
