There are many ways to get quality backlinks. One proven way I use is to submit articles to high-quality article directories like Ezinearticles.com, GoArticles.com and ArticlesBase.com.
Besides submitting articles to high-quality article directories, I also submit articles to high-traffic Web 2.0 sites like Squidoo.com, Hubpages.com, WorldVillage.com, tumblr.com, Wetpaint.com and Gather.com. All these web 2.0 sites will provide you good quality backlinks and a lot of targeted traffic.
