Not quite sure that I understand your question correctly.
If you are talking about websites where you have the opportunity to put a link to your own website my advice would be that you avoid them. If such a service is not carefully moderated by the webmaster it will very easily grow into a linkfarm. A link from such a place most likely will not harm you, but if you link _to_ it you may link yourself into bad company.

The very first step is to make your website worth linking to: Create content, content and content. Good content. Lots of it.
You can also check the backlinks of your competitors and get some good link partners in the process.
The idea is to "Think-outside-the-box" -as the experts in the trade say. Your goal should be this : reach more and more target visitors using creative thinking.
Link Farms:
Arbitrary linking, junk links, links without any theme or purpose etc: as far as I know.
Also, please be patient while building links. Good links don't happen overnight.
I kind of knew that those sort of websites would or could be harmful, just needed confirmation off a more experienced webmaster.
Many thanks!
