Google is getting smarter every day, and it makes little to no sense at all to keep going after links like it was 2005.

Better understanding link quality, type, position and authorship can help you a great deal in saving yourself not only lots of time and money, but also the risk of having a site that is penalized.

Informative. Insightful. Very useful. 8/10
