I moved a site from Wordpress to Umbraco and had some indexing issues. You have to stick with the basics like 301 redirects as well as .xml file re-uploads. What you will want to do is look at your webmaster tools about 1 week after launch and see whether or not everything worked.. . it just happens sometimes that it doesn't. As well, from the studies I've read, there is sometimes a percentage of decrease in traffic after a migration. I don't want to arbitrarily throw out a percentage because it may have changed. I would look that up and let the client(s)/stakeholders know. You may be able to combat that with a short-run PPC campaign to balance that percentage out.

RE: Which is the best link building method after Google penguin update & why?
I have had to kill any outsourced bulk link building which I did a bit of while optimizing my clients' websites through forums, article submissions and Blogger outreach. I think those are big as well as niche profile directories. These have an associated cost but have a lot of good fodder such as review options, article uploading, followed links and often times a referral service.
