    I think after penguin update anchor texting must be avoided. And you should also avoid using software generation of backlinks.

    No need to stop link building. Just go for real content on your website and user appealing. Go for high PR submission and relevant and not in bulk.

    I think the main thing is to vary anchor text. Of course, you want some links that contain the term you are targeting but it looks unnatural when all your links are the same (or a high proportion of them are). You should also focus on building links with related, but not identical, anchor text.

    Lessons from the "Penguin Primary Report" (recomended)-

    Do's-
    - quality and niche related guest blog contextual links
    - Press releases and other authoritative links
    - highly diverse anchor texts
    - avoid footprints of any kind and drip feed backlinks

    Dont's-
    - use duplicate content
    - use only main keyword as anchor texts
    - use too many twitter backlinks
    - use "high pr only" netwroks or private network that reports backlinks
    - generate "junk" links like comment spamming and mass profile linking

    You should continue to link build, just be careful not to participate in link farms. Google is looking down upon them. As long as you continue to post quality content you should be in the clear.

    Most harmful backlinks are footer links in templates. Penguin does not like this

    I think any sort of backlinking that is automated in any way should be avoided. Google doesn't want all this spammy backlinking and just wants 100% natural linking. I also think that social media is playing a larger role now too.

    Backlinking is where you put a link back to your own website on another website. For example a blog comment with a link to your site is a backlink. A forum post with a link to your site is a back link. The links in your signature are backlinks. A link in an article pointing back to your site is a backlink. A link to your site on a social bookmarking site like digg.com, reddit.com, etc is a backlink. Any link that points to your site is called a backlink.

    But my another question, should all backlinks be done on relevant website into my website? I mean, if my website is about photography, I should put backlinks on websites are about photography, or it does not matter where I put them?

    Defiantly be careful of software's that automate link building now. They may link to what Google sees as "harmful" sites and it will penalize your site.

    Link farming, and also avoid using irrelevant content for the keyword you select.
