Link building strategies

[Kyle Farrah]

I am working for an (extremely new) real estate crowdfunding company.

As a startup that has just launched last week, we have very few links to our site. As a result we do not rank very high in Google or other major search engines.

What strategies have you guys found successful for improving your search engine ranking, and building backlinks?

I remember a couple of years back people were posting links in "dofollow" blog comments - is that still an effective strategy?

Thanks,

Kyle
