Reciprocal linking is the one method that everybody dose.. Go to Link Exchange if you wanna exchange or go to Link Sales if you wanna buy oneway links.
yes. forum participation will help increase backlinks.. add the link in your signature.. comments on blogs related to your niche.. you could also submit to social bookmarking sites and free directories...
So I guess the most popular method so far is forum posting....?? How about anything else like classified ads?

Try a mixture of all. Directory Submission Article Writing Blog Commenting Social Bookmarking Link Exchange with relevant sites. All these will help in building back links for your website
Forum signature links are a great method to get backlinks. Also try to have more natural link profile by using other methods also. Such as article marketing, blog commenting, social bookmarking, press releases, etc.
If you got a good budget, go to link sales, BUT look carefully at the sites offering you for links, most are DROPPED domains filled in with crap, won't be worth anything, even if they are asking for peanuts. And beware of those offering permanent links ... often doesnt last as long as the P will start! Link exchange is decent for getting a little start, but don't expect too much from it, and from experience, the exchange normally disappear in a few months. Again with budget, you can try to buy some new contents, and use them for article submission, or do some link baiting with them. the possibilities are endless ... just what you want to do
Forums, blogs and directories submissions is best place to start building links - Blog is much better than any thing - as using blog you can also explain about your services.
