Just foresee this issue coming up with a couple of clients and while I am preparing a strategy of my own, I felt it would be helpful to ask the community their thoughts as well.

Thanks Nakul - I have been considering circumstances and am simply preparing for if a client comes in post penguin with some major linking issues. Definitely some good ideas here.

Thanks for the knowem.com link. I have to use it more, but it looks like a promising organizational tool.

As Ben and Alan have recommended, do something newsworthy. Think linkbait. However, before you do anything like that, I would suggest you look at your link profile and see if it makes sense to do something like this.
Have you been penalized for unnatural links ?
Do you have unnatural links ?You could also have knowem.com or another agency or (DIY) signup on all social networking sites and have a lot of brand/follow/nofollow links. A natural link profile contains all kinds of links and not too many of 1 particular kind of links. I hope this ignites some thoughts and ideas.

Building on what Ben suggests, there's contests, giveaways, and highly incentivized promotions - all strong paths when executed properly. And for all of these, you can cross-promote them across all social media points, as well as generate press coverage under the right circumstances.

Sue Google.
Do something really noteworthy/or outrageous/controversial that doesn't stink like a PR stunt then I see no reason why you wouldn't reap the rewards.
Maybe hire someone like Michael O'Leary of Ryanair to stoke up the controversy? (I'm only half joking)

No Follow Links

How can I check were are the no-follow links on my site? I have found some tool online but it shows me that there are only 2 no-follow links on my website which are both www.cloudflare.com while SEOmoz report shows me that I have 1031...where can i view this links?

Why are none of my incoming links showing up in SEOmoz or Google? How do I get good legit incoming links?
There are hundreds of sites that are linking to my website, but nobody is showing it. Google wont display any when using link:eugenecomputergeeks.com, and in webmaster tools it only shows 46 incoming links. SEOmoz shows only 3 links. This just isn't so. Why is this? I DESPERATELY need valid incoming links from well ranked websites , and having lots of trouble getting them. Nobody in town with a well ranked site seems to want to do a link exchange, and I've already made the mistake of buying my way into directories, which didn't do anything good for my rankings. Thanks!

Hello all, I am trying to find out how Google weighs page inbound links vs. domain inbound links. I have a domain with about 100,000 inbound links and am adding a new page to my domain which at this time has 0 links. I will be trying to outrank a competitors page that has 6,000 inbound links to the competitors page, but only has 26,000 inbound links to my competitors domain . Is there a formula or a way to know how Google values a page link vs. a domain link?
