Is a link just a link - what I mean in googles eyes is a PR3 link from a youtube video held in the same regards as a PR3 wordpress comment, im not talking .org or .edu, just .com or others.
not all links are equal in value.
the article mentioned before is a good read.
What should be added, however is that:
1) many people spend wayyyyy too much time trying to find the "perfect link". Personally I try to focus 80-90% of my link building time on actually building links, and 10-20% of my time on looking for new links through different footprints / methods. I believe many people do it the other way around.
2) There is no such thing as a "bad link" - don't pass over an opportunity just because it "isn't good enough"
All links are good, but not equal. Some of the references already mentioned should help you get started. It's important not to become a linkist (like a racist) and start discriminating based on such judgements. The PR0 today, could be the PR4 in the next quarter. Treat the site you are linking to though as a popularity contest though. Try to hang out with the cool kids, but say hi to the geeks. Ironicly enough, this metephor works in total reverse. The geeks are the ones with the sites that are 'cool'.. while the cool kids are.. well.. left out. Are we still talking about links?
