Sure @anwebservices
This forum is not giving permission to attach link cause of my new registration. so you can check out your answer on our website's SEO blog.
I am sorry, it's a big discussion topic.
John Mueller said on 15 Feb in his Google+ hangout that

In general, I’d try to avoid that.

So that you are really sure that your content kind of stands on its own and make it possible for other people of course to link to your content. Make it easy, maybe, put a little widget on your page, if you like this, this is how you can link to it. Make sure that the URLs on your web site are easy to copy and paste. All of those things make it a little bit easier.

We do use links as part of our algorithm but we use lots and lots of other factors as well. So only focusing on links is probably going to cause more problems for your web site that actually helps.

I agree with you @sanfora that link building is a powerful ranking factor.
But SEO is not only link building. We should work on other factors also.
Most of the link building techniques are considered as a spam whereas few bad links can damage your site for long time.
do in-depth blogging, benefit is - that user can use your blog link in his website or other websites (forum or other blogs)
Google gives less priority to regular quality do-follow sites, (regular site means sites which can only be used for link building) Because these sites are not niche sites. If links are created by users then obviously links will be made on niche sites.
You can use other link building techniques like
- Give interview or share unique experiment with mashable, techcrunch and other niche and popular sites.
- Create links by Testimonial
- Create links by client's sites (create link in Footer)
- Create links by charity donation sites
- Create links by in-depth tutorial for .edu and .org sites
Think different, if you really want to improve ranking by using link building.
Don't force to rank any specific keyword by link building, Google knows this trick, you can use variations and synonyms of keyword.
Content marketing is the king of SEO 2015.
Cheers!!

My idea on the issue that SEO specialists and adherents are focused on link building is because the backlink works 2 ways. When your backlink is clicked by a user of that site then your site gets traffic. When someone searches using a particular niche then the search engine increases the ranking of your site in the search list if you have many quality backlinks. A keyword works one way only that traffic results only when a search is made while backlinks work when there is a search and when the user clicks on it.
