I'm cmparing two approaches for a project: building a small number of highly relevant editional links or going for much higher bolume from decent sites. For those who have tested both apppraoches, which pproduced more noticable movement over time?

I haven't tested both but if the relevant links themselves aren't ranking on Google for relevant keywords, while the others are, I'm inclined to go for those that are drawing some traffic.
