Link Building: Quality Vs. Quantity?

No majority of the world's forum spam comes from a group in Russia; the proxy IPs will say they're from everywhere; but it's definitely is definitely Russian.
Not saying that I have any knowledge or, or even know how to use the software, just saying that if I knew how to obtain a license and used it I'd be inclined to believe that it's in Russia

Google values link-velocity as well as quality & quantity. If you get 10k links one month and none the next...it's pretty easy to assume that you may be up to something funny there. Personally, I have seen very little value in junk "quantity" links. They have not made that big of a difference (if any) in my search engine rankings. Quality links at a steadily increasing velocity is what get's me onto the first page every time.

Knowing whether or not a link is counted doesn't tell you how it is valued.
My assumption is that Google puts some value on the extra links. I think that two links from the same site is better than having just one.
However, two links from the same site might be worth only 10% more than one link. Five links might only be worth 15% more than one link. 100 links might be worth only 20% more.
These are just my assumptions. Only Google knows for sure.

You are very smart guy.
On one of the forums I have "best car insruance" signature. There are over 5K links. Initially Google just sanboxed me, after the manual review, they took me out of the sandbox, but almost ignore those links. I'm still in the middle of the experiment with those links, so I can't say anything for sure, but I'm under strong impression that Google follows "1 doman/1 term/1 link" rule, unless you an Amazon size outfit.

Myth #99:
Nofollow doesn't matter.
Nofollow doesn't matter.
That is true most of the time. If you are a member at Linkedin.com and use the regular setting you can get 3 powerful PR9 links. 2 will be no follow. Sometimes Google counts one, other times 3.
When your site is new you need less than 100 high quality links. The .edu and .gov will weigh highest, so then the total amount mixed with those of higher relevancy might only require 25.
A slow steady pace is preferable, yet a quality 2 year old site could have a thousand.
Building backlinks can be done by outside pros for $5.00 each job. Inquire if you want to know a great source for finding these pros. (that means $25 total might just do a great job done in 5 different ways)
"Gurus" make money by overselling the quantity concept.
Backlinks should be treated like content... quality counts.
Alston: Your logic is correct.
