Contextual links are made on some keyword or a keyword phrases. These links are also formed when you post comments in blogs mentioning your name and website plus email there. After approval when you click on your name your sites hyperlink is shown there so such links are formed manually as well as through software.
A contextual link is a type of link that's usually found within the body of content and is in context with the idea surrounding the link. It can be both natural (voluntary links from other websites – ex: link bait) and artificial (manually built – ex: one of your guest posts that links back to your blog/content)

A contextual link is the clickable text (usually the keywords) found within the written content of your webpage. If used effectively, contextual linking can be proven a very strong SEO linking strategy for your website.
A contextual link is one in which the clickable text is made up of a keyword phrase you want to obtain a page one listing for in Google.
For example, I'm personally interested in the phrase lead generation. I attempt to secure as many contextual links back to my main site's homepage as I can.
A contextual link can only work if it links to a page primarily about the keyword phrase. For example, the phrase perspex furniture should link to a page about furniture made from perspex.

The basic idea behind contextual linking is (in-text links) cross-linking your blog posts in a specific manner. This way you are going to increase the number of backlinks for every inter-linked post. Every time you link to a post this way, reciprocity is not a necessity. Successful and effective contextual linking involves careful selection of links crafted according to needs and requirements. There are two basic principles while creating a contextual link.
