So I have done SEO at enterprise level for many years now (i.e. not the snake oil that is commonly labeled as SEO). My first piece of advice would be to not under any circumstances go with what you are suggesting by creating your own artificial link network. Not only will it not work but it will more than likely hurt you significantly. In fact I would go as far to say the same thing about all link networks, they are a ticking time bomb that will be waiting to blow up in your face. My personal suggestion for someone who is fairly new to this is to take a look at http://pointblankseo.com/link-building-strategies http://pointblankseo.com/link-building-strategies for what I consider to be the most comprehensive list of link building strategies on the net. You can also get a feel for what the value of each of these strategies would be there as well (for your own sake, avoid the low quality ones, they too are a ticking time bomb). Also for what it's worth trying to include your keywords in the anchor text of these links is waaay less important now (thankfully) than it used to be. A general rule of thumb I follow is if it looks out of place then don't do it. 7/10 I am perfectly happy to just have my brand name or URL as the anchor text to my website.
