I've written a couple of guides to building do-follow contextual links on 2 fixed platforms in the past:

This time I've written a guide to get such links on a specific platform: Webvent
Webvent is a webcast management platform that provides services to companies for online training and so on. They also let users that sign up build their own content-rich profile page, which is what we'll be leveraging for links.
First of all, a couple of footprints to get you started:
You can search for these on Google or your favourite alternative search engine to find target sites. For this guide I'll be using this site:
Third party metrics are pretty good: DR89, DA73
The Process
1) First we'll want to click on the 'Sign Up' link in the top right:
2) Next we fill in the registration form. You can put any data you want here, there is no email verification so any random email address is fine. It is up to you whether you want to put any branding in the first and last name fields, or just a random name. The captcha is easily automateable if you can't be bothered solving it yourself. Click the Sign Up button to continue.
3) Now that our account is set up, we have to visit our profile admin so we can edit it. This is accessible using the link on the top right that has our user's name and email address.
4) This is the form we will be adding our content and links to. The field we're mainly targeting here is the Biography field. This is a textarea with a rich text editor attached and allows you to paste your text content and then format it with links, headers and other formatting. If you're happy with using raw html (and you really should be in this industry!) you can click on the 'source' button and edit away there. Doing this you can add images and such too. After you're finished editing, click the Save Profile button.
5) To view the profile page we've just created, you need to click on the 'view profile' link I've highlighted in the image below.
The finished result is here:
Notes
1) Most of the domains that use the Webvent platform are hosted on the same IP address.
2) Once you create a profile on one site that uses Webvent, the profile is also available on other Webvent-powered sites. For example, here's my profile on a different domain (note the number 400320 is the same in both urls):
This could be a positive result, depending on whether you're happy with duplicate articles being used for your links. If not, then you can just choose which domain you prefer that article to be on and just index that url. The profiles are orphaned by default (no internal links pointing at them) so you have control over what is indexed.
3) The number of sites using the Webvent platform is pretty limited.
So there you have it, a platform where you can easily build do-follow links in rich content which can be indexed using an indexer or tiering.
Happy linking!
