A fairly easy way to get backlinks is to visit niche related blogs, and
leave a *quality* comment. Be respectful of the blog owner and don't
spam -- leave sincere comments that actually add value. I consider this
a fair exchange ... I am adding content to the blog owners site and he
is giving me a backlink. Both sides win!
Of course, another benefit of leaving blog comments of real value is that other readers may read what you have written and actually click on your link. So not only do you get the backlink for PR purposes but you also pick up additional traffic to your site!
Here's a technique that will greatly boost your SERPs for a particular keyword: find blogs that have pages/posts that are already ranking well for that specific term, and then leave a comment on that specific page.

Very good overall introduction to backlinking. I do have a couple of thoughts.
(1) The jury is still out about whether there is added value in getting backlinks from sites in your niche (not talking about getting pass-through traffic, just the backlink value). Many many people feel this is way overrated, me being one of them.
(2) With respect to "do follow", it certainly has a value by google, but really no effect as to yahoo, etc.
(3) You briefly mentioned this sort of thing in the "hitch a ride" section, but IMHO the best and easiest way to get great quality backlinks is from putting links in your profile and forum and web 2.0 properties, where the underlying domain has a high PR. Many of us have had phenomenal success with this linkjuice.
(4) Not everyone agrees as to how much of an issue it is to get tons of backlinks quickly. Many believe that the whole Google sandbox thing is way overrated. If we are talking thousands and thousands to a new domain, then OK. but I don't think throwing a hundred of backlinks at a EZA article a day is going to do anything but help you get to the top of google.
