Generally people refer to links as what is linking out from your site and backlinks are what links into your site.
The number and relevance of backlinks matters. But, you will not get penalized for non-relevant backlinks you just wont gain much if anything.
Try to grow the links coming into your site "naturally". If you narmally get 5-8 backlinks a week, keep tyring to get that number on average.
Don't bother with recipricol links unless they benifit your users.
Try to get links from authority sites in your subject area.
As you get more and more links, let's of links from non-relevant areas are more and more "ok".
In general, links leaving your site don't have too much to do with your serps. A good rule of thumb is that if it's good for the human user of your site it's probably good with the search engine.
Hope this helps.
