Alright, I hate spoon feeding threads like this but I'll bite this once.
1) Hand written unique content on ALL tier 1 links and unique on all tier 2 links.
2) Link diversity.
3) Natural authority links. These you have to figure out how to earn, you can't buy. But they are key.
4) Careful dripfeeding. No more dumping links, velocity must match realistic numbers based on your traffic.
5) A live social campaign for your site, with its own FB page G+ page, and Twitter page.
6) Good on-site SEO.
7) A good REAL aged website, no more ranking day old sites for $5,000 a day keywords.
