    The page rank of the page your links are on is more important than the number of links. The content of the site your link is on isn't as important as the content of your site. Social bookmarking can help but you only want a small percentage of your inbound links to be from them. To add weight they have to be dofollow backlinks. You can use a firefox add on to check if links are nofollow and the page rank of the site.

    I would say link is the most important part of search engine optimization procedure. There are two type of links

    1. Inbound Links - or known as "Incoming Links". This link is the link pointing toward your website homepage or inner page from external websites.

    2. Outbound Links - or known as "Outoging Links". This link is the link pointing toward other websites from your website.

    You have to be selective on both inbound and outbound link, especially outbound. If you do linking to websites that low quality or too much off-topic from your website then you are trapped for "Bad-Neighborhood" issues and you would feel a pain soon.

    There are plenty of factors to judge quality inbound link but I will sum a part of it

    1. Quality link does not mean to has high PageRank (PR) as always. You cannot judge link value based solely on PR anymore. Google had changed the way they treat with PR for quite a long time ago to preventing abused by webmasters.

    2. Quality does matter over quantity as always. Be selective and gain a few quality inbound links is better than gain a tons of useless inbound links from a bunch of low quality websites.

    The Internet is based on links. If there weren't links, the Internet wouldn't exist. For this reason, if you find a good web site with good content you should link to that site. Don't care about the search engine ranking or the PageRank of the site you're linking to. If you find a web site that you or your visitors find valuable, then link to it and ask for a reciprocal link to your site.
    Search engines just try to organize the Internet. Links build it. If you participate in building the Internet with good links, your web site is in a good position.

    The easiest way of improving your ranking in the search engines is to let them know that your site is important. How do you do that? Well, the best way is through the process of link building. Link building is the practice of encouraging other websites to link to your own website. If other websites are linking to your website, your link popularity will increase, search engines will deem your website important, and in turn, you should receive more traffic.

    One of the best ways to advance your link popularity is to offer quality and informative content to your visitors and hope for natural links. If they find the information interesting enough, they will naturally link their website to your own. Directory submissions are probably the fastest and easiest way to obtain some inbound links. But, because Internet directories link to thousands of other websites, the value that they can add to your Page Rank gets diluted by all the other links.

    Ask yourself why web surfers visit your web site. Give them what they're looking for. In addition, help your visitors by offering them links to related web sites. Links to related web sites show your visitors that you care about them. You should always build your web site with your visitors in mind. If your web site is useful and important to your visitors, search engines will honor that. A well-designed link directory can help you to make your site useful and important for your visitors.

    Links are extremely important, though their individual importance changes depending on factors such as the number of outbound links on the page, and its' onpage SEO

    Great thread, and of course, inbound links are the most important aspect of building rankings. But I want to point out one thing that people often miss: Internal Links. I believe that a strong internal linking structure can do wonders for your rankings. Look at a site like Ezine Articles, they have great SEO'd internal links and I believe this helps their results.

    Well, SEO is all about the following three things:

    Keywords
    Content
    Linking
    So, as the linking is the part of the SEO so it has a great importance so we need to follow the rules and regulations of the search engine so that we can get some very good and effective and relevant back links from some other websites...

    having a good back link strategy is just as important as having quality content. You need to discipline yourself to build backlinks every day from the following sources;

    1.Do follow blogging and forum posting (like DP forums)
    2. Article director submission
    3. exchanging links with other sites in a similar niche as your own
    4. social book marking through sites like digg
    5. Social networking through sites like facebook and twitter.

    Digg and many other social sites are NO follow, which means nothing for SEO, but CAN help generate new visits. Same with Twitter, FB and Wiki, they ALL use no follow. There are a few that DO follow, a quick google search will uncover those.
