It is debatable what the most effective methods of SEO are, but there are definite cases of “Bad Methods” of SEO, that will more likely harm your website than help it. If a company advertises an automated link building system between other clients then you are likely to get burned. Search Engines can tell if lots of different sites are all interlinking in order to boost their rankings, and will penalise such sites as link farms. Linking is extremely important, but it should be done between related sites (in the same niche) and only if it benefits the readers.
For example a DVD selling website might link or be linked to by a DVD review website; however getting a link from an online drug pharmacy to a DVD review website looks like you are just trying to boost your rankings. You should also read up and become familiar with terms like cloaking and Blackhat SEO, because these can only do harm to your site in the long run.
