A quote from the great Matt Cutts: “Do not assume just because you see a backlink that it’s carrying weight”.
Matt is pointing out a common SEO misconception… that all links are good links. This is in line with the short series we are doing on incoming links. Not all links are created equal. That is why we have been talking about the charachteristics of quality over quantity in regards to linking.
