Backlinks are good for building trust around your website, however Google does not like the use of automated backlink tools.
Some examples of good backlinks (not spammy or bad ones) are.
A mix of High (page rank/PR) sites that are of a similar interest to yours, for example games sites get links from other games sites.
A mix of types of backlinks (blog comments, homepage links, signatures, etc..)
The more you have the better you will be, but only targeted and quality sites though.
Make sure to include your keywords in the "anchor text" or "hyperlink" so that helps with your search engine ranking.
