A lot of times your backlinks won't show the full count. Consistently work on your SEO and you will see results. If you are constantly improving and working, you will see results. Don't worry too much about the number.
You want a diverse portfolio of backlinks. SENuke X is one of my favorite tools because it has many types of websites that you can create elaborate link pyramids with. It does article directories, forum profiles, web 2.0 profiles, video sites, and social networks. It also has a built-in indexer, a great community, and many more features. It's more than worth the price tag if you can afford it.
If you can't afford the software, you can buy SENuke services here. However, doing one blast to your site likely isn't enough to see results. I've found that it's consistent link building and SEO that will return good results. Take your time when picking a service. Go with the well reviewed ones and make sure to diversify your links.
At the same time, don't underestimate the value of manual link building. It can be very rewarding when carried out wisely. Do this on top of the services you purchase.
