Standard way of link building?

I have seen many topics on many forums and still I wonder what the standard way of link building is? How to gain more PR and traffics?

For example my website deals on Corporate Personalized Gifts business and currently on PR3 with 400 Visitors per day.

Do I need to go with my business related sites with any PR and with any Traffics?
Do I need to go with my business related sites which has PR greater then my site and which is having low in traffics?
Do I need to go with my business related sites which has PR greater then my site and which is having high amounts of traffics?
Do I need to follow do follows?
Do I need to go with any sites which have greater PR and Traffics then my site, but the business is not related to my site?

Please do advice me on this

this is great advice vicogor is saying especially #3. in the mens entertainment sector personal emails have worked best for me. inform them in the email that you are linking and that you love their site and content.

 

Im a little confused on to how that is a good method? If i got a email like that i put it in my junk folder.

 

you def want links coming from websites related to your niche. Al thought having links on websites with high pr is a good thing, it is also beneficial to have links on related websites with low pr also, this will also increase your pr and bring in targeted visitors which might convert for you. Leaving some comments on dofollow blogs related to your niche is also an excellent way to gain some backlinks also..
