Given how competitive data recovery is I know a lot of us have been forced to become SEO guru's as well as data recovery pros. I know I'm constantly on the prowl for places to drop the occasional link to a page for SEO. So I just thought I'd share some of the places I've been able to get good quality do follow links which seem to help SEO.
www.hddguru.com (obviously) - Interestingly I've noticed that when you change your signature, it retroactively changes it in all past posts. Not sure if all phpBB forums do this. So you can't build a lot of diversity, but can certainly get a lot of links for some keywords you really want to compete for.
www. anandtech. com - Moderators here are a bunch of fascist Nazi pigs who will flag you for everything you do (especially if it's actual useful advice you give). So I wouldn't advise trying to help anyone on there. However some of the strongest links in my profile are from the off topic section of their forum. So I'd say just throw in a simple signature link, and make an occasional random comment in there. I've also notice that if you use the signature, you actually get two links from each post.
http://www.technibble.com - I know Luke has had a lot of fun with some of the moderators here (personally I haven't experienced it). But, there's quite a bit of data recovery related topics that come up. Links aren't as strong as some other forums, but not bad either.
http://www.wikipedia.org - Don't bother trying to create an article about your company or yourself on there (will get deleted quick by someone with nothing better to do). However I've found that you can get some quality links that stick if you write reviews on your site of things like data recovery programs which already have established articles. Then post a link to your review in a "reviews" section. Just be sure to keep the review upbeat or the company who make the software will likely delete the entry. You can see my review link under the GetDataBack article.
If any of you know of other good places to link build, please do share.
