When getting links, the most important thing is to get them on pages that are relevant to our website's content. Sometimes it can be difficult to get this kind of links, so what we can do is generate new pages that are relevant to our website's content and link from them to our site. This way we would be getting one way relevant links, but the problem is that the new pages wouldn't have any authority, so what we can use is social networks to accomplish this task. Here I will show you 7 social networks where you can get relevant links:

Flickr

On Flickr, you can add links as a description of the images, and you can also add them to your profile page, but I would recommend the first option.
To do this, you have to create an account at Flickr (or log in if you already have one) and go to Upload Photos, there you would have to pick the photo you would like to upload (this doesn't matter, just make it public), and then choose a Title (your keywords here), and on the description you would have to add a link to your site using HTML.

Keywords on Title: Yes
Keywords between heading tags: Yes
Able to choose anchor text: Yes
Do-follow link: Yes
In-Content Link: Yes
Keywords in URL: Yes

LinkedIn

On LinkedIn you just have to create a new account and fill the details using the keyword you want to rank for on First Name and Second Name fields. Both mixed should make the keyword you want to rank for.
After that just go to the My Profile tab and click on add website, there click on other from the dropdown and choose the Title and URL you want for your link.

Keywords on Title: Yes
Keywords between heading tags: Yes
Able to choose anchor text: Yes
Do-follow link: Yes
In-Content link: No
Keywords in URL: Yes

Stage6

On Stage6 we will be getting a link from our profile page, but you can also get one from Videos, the process is more or less the same. First we will create an account and as username we will use the keywords we want to rank for (if it is more than 1 separate them with an underscore "_"). After you have completed the account creation click on the edit profile button and enter your link and any text you may want to add to the about page (the link can't be added using HTML, instead you will have to use this [http://www.urlhere.com Anchor Text Here]).

Keywords on Title: Yes
Keywords between heading tags: Yes
Able to choose anchor text: Yes
Do-follow link: Yes
In-Content link: Yes
Keywords in URL: Yes

Del.icio.us

On Del.icio.us, the social bookmarking site, we have to create a new account using as username the keywords we want to target. Again, if it is more than 1 word we have to separate it using an underscore "_". Then just click on the post link and enter the details for your link, use Description as Anchor Text.

Keywords on Title: Yes
Keywords between heading tags: Yes
Able to choose anchor text: Yes
Do-follow link: Yes
In-Content Link: No
Keywords in URL: Yes

Squidoo

On Squidoo create a new account (or login if you already have one), and create a new lens. As title use the keywords you want to rank for and choose an URL using the keywords you want to target. Then on text list, just add some text with your link or just your link, you can add more information if you want to make the page richer. Finally click on publish.

Keywords on Title: Yes
Keywords between heading tags: Yes
Able to choose anchor text: Yes
Do-follow link: Yes
In-Content Link: Yes
Keywords in URL: Yes

Mixx

On Mixx you will have to create a new account as you will be getting the link from your profile, use the keywords you are targeting as your nickname and once more separate them with an underscore "_". After creating your account go to the Your account page and add your site's URL on the "Have a website? What's the URL?" field, click on submit and you are done.

Keywords on Title: Yes
Keywords between heading tags: Yes
Able to choose anchor text: No
Do-follow link: Yes
In-Content Link: No
Keywords in URL: Yes

Reddit

On Reddit we will get a link from our profile page, so go and create a new account using the keywords you are targeting (remember the underscore "_" thing) and submit your website by clicking on the submit link. Add your website as if you were adding a normal bookmark, when you finish just click send.

Keywords on Title: Yes
Keywords between heading tags: No
Able to choose anchor text: Yes
Do-follow link: Yes
In-Content Link: No
Keywords in URL: Yes

The best thing you can do to get the most out of this links would be registering a new domain and linking to all this profile pages using the keyword you are targeting as anchor text, you would then have to get some links to the new domain to get some authority to it.

    Social networks will help your website a lot, but I’m afraid there will be a lot of nofollow links in the future.

    I also recommend using country-specific networks to get more local visitors while increasing your organic results in Google.
