    What are your aims in obtaining backlinks?
    PR or exposure?
    Do you expect and indeed get traffic from any?

    90% PR & SERPS, 10% direct traffic.

    I get some direct 'human' interest from links, but nowhere near what I get from Search Engines

    well, frankly speaking, whenever I opt for getting back links, I do so for traffic only..because my funda is, if you have the traffic, you get automatic exposure..so, I just keep an eye over increasing traffic..:)

    As a potential source for traffic. PR doesn't convert into potential clients, traffic can.

    If you think about it, its all about where you place the link. If its in a prominent position where people will click it- its for traffic

    otherwise, just SERPs
