Link Population

[aeeseo]

Is it better to linkup with sites that provide the same nature products and services you provide? Or, will it hurt your ranking by just linking up with sites that have good traffic but totally differ from what your service is?

Is emailing for link population considered spamming? Any other ideas on increasing link population?
