How do I find webmasters to trade quality links with?

I have been building links on my own for about 9 months now. My sites rank fairly well in the SERPs for certain terms and they do show PR2-PR4 on the Google Toolbar.



I have yet to attend any conferences and the major webmaster forums seem full or scammers and spammers, so I am reluctant to reach out there for contacts.



Until I do get around to attending industry events, what are some other ways to find willing webmasters to trade some links with?

Hi,

I have a lot of experience marketing small companies online (I have 3 companies). One of the best ways is to sign up at business directories and protals. These are basically listings of businesses (simliar to the phone book). The advantage is that these portals usually get a lot of traffic and they're ranked high on Google because of all the quality links they contain.

My favorite portal is called Directory Exclusive. I signed up a few weeks ago because they're giving a away a free business card holder when a person enter's their company info. I received it in the mail 3 days ago =)

I don't know if they still have that promotion, but you can try to get the free card holder here:
