Adding links will help my SEO?

Yes, it helps you to increase traffic but always add quality site link to your website also a link with relevant topic to your website else your website will consider as spam by major search engines.

Definitely, back links will help your SEO. But in back links, relevancy and quality both are most crucial factor. Try to get links from broad base.

Absolutely, adding the link will indeed will help the cause provided the links that you are adding to the site is relevant to the services you provide. I would say that if it is implemented in an appropriate manner it could be termed as one of the better means.
