I will direct your attention to this thread over at Webmaster section of Google Product Forums. The most important point was made by someone who works at Google:

Hi Kyle
I wouldn't use PageRank or links as a metric. We've last updated PageRank more than a year ago (as far as I recall) and have no plans to do further updates. Think about what you want users to do on your site, and consider an appropriate metric for that. Official Google Webmaster Central Blog: Beyond PageRank: Graduating to actionable metrics

Cheers

Anyone who considers PageRank to be a valuable metric in 2015 is ten years behind.

What do you think backlinks in sidebar are not seo friendly and how about guest posts?

I made a video in response to this question to pad out my YouTube channel a little. Hopefully it gives you my philosophy when it comes to buying links. Basically, I'm going to really steer clear of it in 2015. It isn't a healthy approach to SEO. I might grease the wheels of linking slightly with some coverage, but that's just good PR, innit?

Let me know if you have any deeper questions. The video might be a little vague.

Also, the quality suffered for some reason. I have no idea why, but it looks a lot less polished and sharp compared to previous renders. Sorry in advance.
