ThreadWatch reports on an excellent thread at WebmasterWorld forums named Link Development vs. Traffic Development and Staying with the Times. In that thread, sugarrae posts a long, detailed and fun to read explanation of the way link development has changed with the times. Let me summarize for some of you in bullet form:

• Get on topic links
• Buy links that will result in clicks (i.e. traffic)
• Write "800 word" articles that add value
• Write articles based on your keywords but don't throw words together, make it read well and make it useful.
• Diversify your anchor text
• Contribute to a select few communities online and make yourself known
• Create a blog ;)

There are more, but you need to check the WebmasterWorld thread.
