Tee-Hee, a fellow SEO just pointed me to the LinksManager reciprocal link management system, in an effort to be the
“World’s Only Patented 100% Search-Engine-Compliant Link Management System”
they’ve accidentally styled themselves the
“World’s Only Patented 100% Search-Engine-Complaint Link Management System”
Links Manager Typo
P.S. To be fair they fixed it pretty quick, round about the time this thread started getting comments :).

Backlink building tools usually mean reciprocal links, sometimes frowned upon by the Web 2.0 generation of SEOs but still having their place as Aaron Wall I remember mentioned. Mix them up with other strategies, build steadily, and above all focus on your visitors first and make sure links are targeted and useful to real people, that’s what Google likes.
Vexcom’s Atlanta SEO blog lists a decent tool over at webconfs.com, two I personally like are:
http://seopen.com/seopen-tools/link-development-tool.php
http://www.soloseo.com/tools/linkSearch.html
Take your pick. The Seopen one lists all queries directly giving you that immediate rosy glow of being confronted with lots of willing link partners.
The Soloseo one looks neat and you can see every individual search for finding reciprocal link pages, eg. keyphrase +”add site”, keyphrase +”add link”, keyphrase +”add site”, keyphrase +”add URL” and so on which gained fame around 2004 in a seminal post at WebmasterWorld. (Hah, I knew the year without checking).
Yes it’s that old. I used to build site directories, positioning them as a genuine resource for visitors as well as just a links page and would gladly mix up reciprocal links with freely given non-reciprocal links to improve the quality of the directory. Worked well and it still does, just make sure to get some more recent strategies in your toolbox also and go and learn some SMO at the same time :).
