    When looking to get back links for your website should you only get related backlinks from websites that are some what related to yours?

    Or should you get links from all websites like say if your website is about cars if you could get some PR4 backlinks from a flower website should u take them or not?

    When is a backlink not worth getting?

    Well, it's not going to have a negative effect so why not. But, the actual value of the backlink will be less since the website isn't relevant to yours. Now, try to avoid any spam, affiliate marketing and made for adsense websites at all costs; no matter the Pagerank or relevancy of that site.

    Well, the whole concept is to build unique quality content and the backlinks will naturally come themselves; however this can take some time. No, it's not impossible to rank for a search term when a site is in it's birth months (3-6 months). Proper on-page optimization followed by constant off-page optimization is the main goal to succeed in search results.

    Authority site was termed by the SEO community and not Google. Most likely the search terms your coming up for aren't that competitive and have a low search volume. But, if your targeting long tail keywords that is a good thing never the less. That means your writing proper and useful quality content.

    Stay relevant to your blogs subject, don't start veering off to other topics unless they can be directly related.

    I think that 5 relevant and qualitative links are much better than 30 useless links...

    Try 5 quality relevant backlinks are better than 3000 useless backlinks; even then I'm being conservative.

    Ssandecki already answered your basic questions.

    For traffic, you could

    1.) Buy and exchange links on/with sites having good traffic.

    2.) Advertise using adwords or any other program.

    3.) Use social bookmarking.

    4.) Blog commenting

    5.) Do a bit of SEO for organic traffic .
