The problem with the latter approach (aside from the ethics), is that if people start forwarding this e-mail spam to G, they might remove the site from the index or penalize it somehow. That would defeat the purpose of a link building campaign.

So you are suggesting that it could be possibles that this is all it would take to oust the competition?:P

I doubt this has any validity.

In terms of links, look at diverse cross-sections and look to gain some one ways via payment, if you cannot afford the time to do the work.

Be very vigilant about guidelines for links and set clear boundaries on what will and won't be tolerated in terms of what you need from linking sites from the get go.

Do not pay for any links until you are absoltely sure they are what you asked for. First you will need to arm yourself with real knowledge on what a good link is (First hint, don't look at the pagerank bar)

Remember that these type of one way links are usually good when done right, but almost invariably you will need in-content links (real quality sites publishing your material, press releases, etc as well as higher quality links to make a real impact.
