    As far as I'm aware, backlinks from quality related sites are one of the main points that Google will value your site based on.

    I agree.The more you have links back from relevant sites similar to yours, the higher your site will rank in the search results.It helps if the sites you link from have a high PR (page rank)

    Yes of course back links Matter in search engine traffic.
    Back links play a very important role to increase the traffic of websites.
    The first step to achieving a top ranking in Google is to find out how many quality back links come into your site.
    Google puts quite a bit of significance on how many quality back links connect to your site. Remember, I emphasize quality.

    A quality back link is any page linking back to yours with a page rank of 4 and above.

    Definately, the main way Google ranks a site and thus the amount of traffic your site will get is on how many quality links you have to your site.

    Seo juices don't really have to be excellent or perfect, take your time generating good backlinks, build one ways by blogging and bookmarking

    I think PR has nothing to do with your traffic but getting good backlinks will improve your SERP which will improve your traffic,.... quality backlinks is more effective than quantity.

    Back links has a great affect on the traffic that they are providing since it would help your site to a better position on their SERP. Don't forget that back links, age of domain, and your PR has a great effect on how your site will rank on them.

    backlinks are hugely important.

    If you have a site about a VERY obscure topic (eg 'pink motorized navel fluff collectors') you can rank for it just with content. And maybe a few links to your site.

    If you intend to try to rank for 'online pharm%%%ceticals', of course, no matter how good your content is, you will only rank if you have gazillions of backlinks.

    Backlinks, of course, are harder to 'fake' than content, which is why search engines tend to put more trust in them.

    Backlinks help in getting better Search Engine Placements but not that much. However if the links are contextual and targeted they can surely bring in a lot of traffic from other sites.

    I suppose they are of some help only if they are on topic and grow in number in a natural way (not spammy)

    Backlinks are very important. Just remember, a smaller number of links from related, higher PR sites seem to weigh more with Google than having more links from unrelated or very low PR sites.

    Also, look for quality one-way links from decent PR sites to help improve your rankings in Google and other search engines.

    Improved ranking in organic search is sure to help drive more traffic to your site.
