Follow the following steps to avoid Link Building mistakes 1. Avoid unnatural links. I remember, in 2006, people were fine with any kind of links as Google didn’t used to give very high weight age to neighborhood and was only concerned about PR but in 2008, things are a lot different. Now a bad neighborhood can seriously damage your search engine rankings so be careful to what you are linking and from where your links are coming from. 2. Reciprocals don’t work anymore. In most cases, blatant reciprocal from links.php pages or running linkman and similar reciprocal scripts wont work, so don’t waste your time on them. You may get link partners (mostly pharma links) but you will be better of without them. 3. Never spam, as it doesn’t work. In the wonder years of 2005 (and before) people used to spam guest-books heavily and it also used to work. But now, its sure shot method of getting kicked out from Google index. 4. Don’t use blackhat techniques, There are people who make tons of money by spamming and doing black hat, but they know what they are doing and are pro players. You being a rookie, can do serious harm to your good sites. Saying that, there is nothing wrong in testing the Grey area of search engine rankings, just make sure you don’t do this on your good sites. 5. Be careful in buying posts and links. Are you even getting what you are paying for? Do not blindly buy any link seeing its PR. Ask yourself, is the cost of that link justifiable? Also, do not buy 1 month or 2 month links but if you really want to buy links, look for at-least 6 months to 1 year links. Do make sure that you only get link from related website and sites which can also give you some traffic. Avoid getting site-wide and footer links, but look for natural links.

Using blackhat is worst technique. Using it you can get good quick results in less time but the effects of it stay for less time too.
One should always think for long term plans rather than short time success.

I actually appreciate the point.
If you are planning to blog for long there is no point looking for instant traffic by unfair means rather then post quality stuff, comment on blogs, use signature in forums.
Drop your links anywhere if appropriate and within 2-3 months you will see the difference.

Good tips, One of the most effective link building strategies you can perform is to find out who’s linking to your competition and get links from them. You simply go to Google and type in link:yourcompetitorssite.com. You’ll then get a list of sites that are linking to your competitors site. Browse that site to see if there is a place to put a link to your own site at. If not, simply Contact the person running the site and ask kindly for a link.

mr_mahesh_in,
Do you really think reciprocal links are completely dead? Under most circumstances, I can see where your idea would be true.
However, if a webmaster is trying to build a diverse link pool, it seems reasonable to think that reciprocal links from quality related sites could still be beneficial. It seems like it could be beneficial if you can get another webmaster to link to your site within the content of a quality page (not a links page), and you do the same in return.
That said, most 'link exchanges' are nothing more than link farms.
Thank you for your advice on the other subjects. It gives me some things to think about.

Are reciprocal links are really dead? any proofs?
I don't think they are dead but still works and Google still count them.

Certainly one-way links are better than reciprocal links, but the factors that we look at as being the most important are link relevance and quality. If the link is relevant and of good quality, it does not matter if it's a one-way link or a reciprocal link... just a valuable link.

A few questions about this. Firstly, what's wrong with 1-2 month links? Secondly, what exactly do you mean by natural links?

Excellent article with great advice!
Never ever do blackhat unless you're in a grab and dash situation and the long term results aren't needed.

Your second point
If two webmaster are agree to have links with a relevant site and can help to improve search engine ranking. As relevancy does lot matter in search engine ranking.
Note- I am agree that blindly reciprocal is not good but having links from good site ever good in Google eyes
