Top sites can't send you big traffic unless you have a very attractive big banner. Guys watching porn, not searching for sidebar links. Header links can bring some traffic, but in most cases, it is site-wide - millions of links = spam.
As for backlinks for SEO - you need to check backlinks manually - with experience - it is worth it. Also, traffic to the linking sites does not bring any rankings to you site by itself, but the link from a zero traffic site = that site can have a hit of Google penalty and link juice is in question from it.

ok, thank you Turbo! Lots of relevant information & good advice here...
I notice you mention lots of links can be seen as spam. Maybe why our sitelock was showing malware & spam free, as obviously we´re not updating spam, just solid individually wrote blog posts. However, the huge amount of backlinks on the side bar could be the issue!
Thank you
