Hi,
I keep seeing people on here asking for link swaps etc, so I wanted to give something back to the forum and give you an idea how you can get zillions of links for free (well, nearly for free anyway).
I've used this for one of my sites, Google webmasters tools shows that site as having over 150,000 backlinks.
It's easy - all you do is look at your Wordpress site, or someone elses, or some other free CMS system that people use, think about some functionality that would be really useful, and create a plug in (or equivalent) for it.
Don't know anything about creating plugins?
No problem. All you do is put the job on Freelancer or equivalent and some dude in India or similar will create it for you for about £30.
In the plugin you get them to add a link to your site (which can be encoded in base 64 or similar so people can't easily remove it), and when people download and use it, you have a link from their site.
Upload it to the Wordpress plugins database and you should get loads of downloads.
I have a website where people can download my plugin for free (which I realised today hasn't been working for over 6 months and I've still got 150,000 links from it), and a premium paid for no-link version too.
So you have the opportunity to get your money back if you so desire, and to get links too.
Most people want the free version, so you'll get lots of links.
Think about all of the applications you could help people with - mortgage/loan/etc calculators, widgets for just about anthing you can think of - the list is endless.
Just created a new one (cost £35) and will be promoting it soon - thought people might be interested in trying this, it's the lazy mans way to getting lots of links.

A similar method for getting 'zillions' of links (related ones in most cases) is wordpress template sponsorship - costs anywhere between $10 / $500 depending on the quality of the design & distribution network.
