Links ARE NOT equal
Links that help your search engine ranking are from quality websites that are relevant to the content of your web pages.

It serves no purpose establishing linking relationships to unrelated and irrelevant websites no matter how numerous. Link count by itself accounts for little and such link building can get your website banned from being indexed by the search engines.
