Our Link Directory made it to number two on Google...

.. for the keyword "targeted backlinks"! I'm just elated seeing a lot of hard work paying off

Our directory used to be #1 for "targeted link backs" but had second thoughts and instead wanted to rank for the other keyword which is more likely to be searched. I did a little experiment on forums and sure enough, I was able to attain the ranking I wanted (without changing any onpage factor). Though its not a major keyword, but hoping to get the same results the next time I try it for some major keywords in our niche.

This proves that forum participation have value in SERP.

Also ranking good on Yahoo for the same keyword

Cheers!

Is there a report on how to do targeted back links on search engines that works?

Maybe you are referring to SERP - ranking for keywords in search engine. What you would definitely need is to build quality backlinks using your keywords as anchor texts. Be sure that your onpage (title, meta, keywords, content, etc.) would support you offpage (link building) optimization...

Just an update, I am now targeting more popular keywords in our niche - and hoping to see the same results
