The value of the link is directly attributable to the value of the source, and the inbound links to the post, two pieces of related content being considered equal.

To opt-in to NOT searching out high quality, aged websites that allow you to post content and get links back, then promote that content on their website to build some links and staying power would be missing out on some powerful and effective linking IMHO.

Because people are doing it alot doesn't mean its old news or isn't effective.
