This is quite an understatement. A link from a weak website, especially one that has been spammed to death, carries little or no weight. And a contextual link from an extremely authoritative site (with very few outgoing links) carries incredible weight. “Having a backlink from a strong website can be worth much more than 10 links from a weak site.” This is quite an understatement.

So forget profile pages, see who is ranking in your niche and contact them. A guest blog post or asking them to link to a useful page on your site could be worth 1000 profiles The best possible link is one from a site that doesnt generally give out a link.

A lot still depends on the quality of the site that is on. Guest Blogging is a link building method I like a lot. One thing good about Blogroll links is they are site wide.

Referring to one of the comments that the original post didn't say that 'a link can be detrimental' - it actually said that 'It is highly unlikely that a blog roll is detrimental' ... the post was talking about links in blogrolls ... not links in general. Can links per se be detrimental - absolutely. I’d absolutely agree that SEOMoz is a vastly superior SEO metric to PageRank.

However as you say there is no evidence that a link can be detrimental to your ranking and at worst will just be discounted but more likely it will just be given less weight.

All too often people approach linking purely from a toolbar PR factor, in fact one of the worst aspects now is that clients have stumpled upon this and also try and rate link strategy purely on Page rank. Its not the way, neither is ignoring faclities where the links are nofollowed, neither is labouring anchor text. I would recommend anyone who is trying raise their competence to spend time reading books such as these as well as getting into SEO forums.

But I'm curious what the SEO value is of some of the newer forms of linking like having your URL tweeted and re-tweeted. Does this have any effect on SEO beyond the initial (potential) click throughs?

One thing I thought I'd add is that ultimately it's the page which is passing the juice to you. Obviously that's related to the domain that it's on, but a page which is buried on that site with little linking and tons of links out won't be as useful as a single link out from a lesser domain, for example, in many cases.
