Getting huge volume of backlinks

If I want to get huge amount of backlinks for my own site, then all we have to do is to set our volume. That’s right; we should motivate ourselves in order to gain more backlinks in our very own site. But it takes us more time to get more backlinks of course, unless we hire a good link builder to send our link to various relevant websites. Doing SEO job is very exhausting, but quite frankly we do this just to make our site popular and gaining huge traffic in Google, Yahoo and Bing. A huge volume of backlinks I can say is mostly on forum signatures. Why? If we post as many as we can, the backlinks are increasing over and over again. In just one forum site, we can post as many as we could in order to gain backlinks, but make sure they’re not spammy. As for web directories, social bookmarks, article and press release directories, we only need one submission per site but it would drive more traffic but only few.
