The quantity, quality, and relevance of links count towards your rating.  By Adding Your Link You Increase Your Link Popularity which in turn helps with Your Website Ranking with Google and Yahoo. 

Search engines give a lot of extra weight to these links, significantly increasing your site's ranking!

How exactly does this work? According to Google: "In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at considerably more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; for example, it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important." Of course, important pages mean nothing to you if they don’t match your query.  So, Google combines PageRank with sophisticated text-matching techniques to find pages that are both important and relevant to your search.
