There is no need for quality backlinks. You need as many links as possible form different websites. It will show that your web page are authorative and your links are all over the web. It is better to have 100 000 PR1-PR6 backlinks than 10 PR7 backlink

allenpassafaro, search engines see inbound links like a vote of confidence from another website to your website. There are all sorts of variables the search engines use to evaluate a link pointing back to your web page so its not easy to understand exactly what the search engines want. Search engines suggest inbound links should be on topic or closely related to the same topic your site or blog is about. Links work for individual pages not websites, a link pointing to a page give that individual page value through the inbound link so you need links for all your important pages on your website. Quality inbound links in my experience really help a website with link popularity for long term search results. Also the more authoritative a website is that links back to you the more important the search engines think that link is in terms of value.

Linking can be pretty complex to understand so I would recommend learning more about inbound links at a few of the sites listed previously in this post.
