As an alternative to techniques like "broken link building" and "the skyscraper technique" have you considered jumping into a hole and never coming out? I am sick to the back teeth of cold emails from these SEO chowderheads fishing for backlinks.

How about, instead, you contribute to relevant communities (no, that doesn't mean spamming your keyword soup into them, it means making actual meaningful contributions) and promoting your work organically through real connections to real people.

This, you'd be surprised how well it works. My latest web app (~1 year old) is on the first page for a popular single word keyword, and #1 or 2 for a ton of two word searches that are relevant to my industry. Google must know that people are finding what they are looking for because I've never made a site with such good search presence for such minimal effort (I don't have many posts or articles on the site, and do no outreach for backlinks)
