When looking for link opportunities, my advice is to spend time researching and being selective. A few good, well-placed links are worth your patience.
The best partners are those who control the sites of MANY OTHER people. Maybe they manage the sites, write content, promote them, or support them, but they give you the most opportunities with fewer concerns of leaving "footprints" for Google to detect.
Make sure your content/link can be reached within 2 clicks of the site's homepage, 3 at the most on very high authority sites/pages.
Come up with creative ways to make the deals fair to both sides. If someone has a site with a high authority, give them a link from your home page plus a link from an article on Medium in exchange for a link from an interior page of theirs for example.
Don't do straight link exchanges and don't add links to each other at the same time.
The more assets you own and control, and the more diverse they are, the more you have to leverage. "Diverse" includes topics, keywords, hosting, domain name ownership, etc. With the right connections, you can trade a link to their jazz site from your guitar site for a link to your bitcoin site on a different host from their forex site on another host.
This is a rock-solid link plan for sites focusing on low competition keywords.
If you can't rank your pages using this basic strategy, then you are doing something wrong...you're probably using the wrong keywords or have a technical problem like bad hosting or your site is set so it isn't indexed.

- An expired domain name with at least a good link or two (or more) from somewhere like Wikipedia.
- A good link using HARO to get a fresh link from a site like NYTimes.
- A couple of links using the guest blogging resources above.
- Links from a couple of strong parasites like Medium, Quora.
- A couple of links from guest posts to your parasites like Medium, Quora..
