What do you think is the best way of building links?
I have heard of people joining websites like LinkExchanged.com which makes the process of link exchanging pretty simple.
I prefer going through the search engines and typing in a keyword related to my site, and then just emailing all the sites owners asking for link exchanges. So far it seems to be paying off as lots have emailed back and added my link, but in terms of it showing in the search engines its far too early to tell.
What are your best and proven methods of link building?
I think the best ways to build links are natural link building: have a site that is so unique and interesting that when people find it, they'll share it through forums and post links themselves.
Another great way is through directory submission and forum posts (using your signature).
The most sucessful links are those on sites that you are a member and well known. So including your link as a signature in forums that you frequent and asking for a link exchange there seems to work well.
Otherwise, I'd email site owners with a similar but non competing niche and ask. Most people would see that as a compliment and be only to glad to exchange.

I agree with you, word of mouth marketing works great. May be you can use viral widgets to help you spread that word when your visitors want to share your site.
Other than that participating in forums, sending email to web site owners for link exchange are the things I do. Top quality inbound links creates top quality traffic, better to focus more on high quality link submission sites.
