When soemoen claims to be able to get you 100 or 200 high page rank back-links from sites for a small fee, do you trust these types of services? Do you think the person can actually deliver?
Are you sure you want to delete this post?
I usually don't. Backlinks are still the no.1 factor for rankings, not the social signals. But quality of backlinks matters more and more.
PBN's are the holy grail right now, but links from them cost much money, but they bring value if they are done right. PR, PA, DA are just a few factors, niche relevancy is the most important one to determine website's quality for backlinking.
It is all useless if it isn't done right. If content on them doesn't have quality, those sites are useless - no matter their PR, DA, PA or whatever. I'm building my own these days and I'm pretty sure I won't sell any links from them.

Where do you get that backlinks are STILL the "no.1 factor for rankings". They are A factor among 200, but not THE factor. It's ON-page content that's more important now, and I've ranked plenty of sites with no backlinks at all because of that. Even my competitors that have managed to outrank me have weak backlinks, but good on-page SEO.

Yes, as confirmed again by Matty, it is, of course still a factor, but not like it used to be. Backlink relevancy has ALWAYS been closely tied to on-page content, as opposed to the crappy "blasts" you see SEO amateurs offering everywhere.
Of course a bot can determine things like good spelling and grammar, and therefore "good" content, in the same way software like content spinners and Rocket language programs can process words. SEO is mostly about words (keywords). It's not always effective, naturally, but it's important.
Backlinks are less a factor than previously, and on-page content has become more a factor. They are both among the many factors used to determine ranking.
The point isn't really worth arguing, as my original response was merely to the question of whether I trust those services, and I don't, but if you do and it works as part of your SEO strategy, then power to you, and I'll keep doing what I do without the need for those same backlinks.
Enjoy your day! :)

I can't trust in these types of services or companies who claim to provide 100 high pr back links in low price. In this time it is not possible to get high pr backlinks to easily and low price.

So, knowing that, if someone claims to be an SEO "expert' and they offer 100's of backlinks, then you shouldn't trust them, as they have no idea what they are doing. Lots of those people everywhere, so be careful. Anyone who studies proper SEO will know backlinking is no longer the big factor it once was, since the last Google update. It's now more about on-page optimization than off page backlinks.
