Links are so easy to mainpulate that there relevence is dropping, obviously they remain important in terms of the engines and traffic but the game has changed (as Mr Cutts alluded to in the recent UK SEO conference).
I am no expert but I recommend that all webmasters focus greatly onto on page and internal linking to increase serps and traffic, this has always worked for me and I see very little movement in positioning on the sites that do not fall into my test sites etc etc
