The idea of tracking backlinks is not a new one, but when backlinks first started to play a big role in rankings, there was not really a good way to track them. Now it has become easier, but the problem is that there are now almost too many options for this kind of tracking. It can make things very confusing for someone who’s just getting started with SEO (Search Engine Optimization).

Link Quality Versus Link Quantity: Which is Better?
Great Question, Complex Answer. First we have to explain the reasoning behind the question.
It is a fact; search engines view a link to a website as a vote for the site. Now an even better "theory" is that a link from a web site of the same "subject" is a vote that counts more. That’s the Link Quality theory.
If your website is in a specific industry, and another website in the same industry links to you, that is seen as giving better votes for you, compared to a link from a website outside the industry.
