You just have to find other sources, or make such great content others will want to link to you.
Remember - "link building" is unnatural, and Google has wanted to put a stop to "link building" not long after they introduced PageRank and found that people were gaming the use of PageRank for ranking purposes.
You should really take the time to read about what has transpired in the past with online SEO, which will in turn, help you better understand the present, and where you should be focussed for the future.

Great info. Thanks for this.
All right, meanwhile I have another thing to discuss. if google officially deprecated the page rank API's and tool bars, then why are some bloggers still mentioning about checking PR for linking. I have seen this in articles published in 2017 as well. What are they trying to do.
A. Fool around to get page views
B. They are unaware of the change
C. Google still uses page rank
