Theres no such thing as good or bad backlinks, however to increase your ranking they need to be relevant to your site.
EG:
If you run a forum about say Safari Parks, and then Longleat has a link on it's site to you that is a relevant backlink and will score higher than say a link from a garden centre which isn't relative to your genre.
The higher the PR of the relevant site that is providing the backlink the more it will help to increase your PR.
Everyone should take note that PR cannot be increased simply through one method, it's a combination of all things SEO that increase your rank:
A high PR is useless without traffic
Traffic is useless unless it spends time on your site, and goes deeper than the index page.
Backlinks do increase PR, but google also tracks which backlinks are generating traffic.
The best way to keep an eye on all this, is sign up to Google webmaster, e-mail and site verification will be required, then use Google analytics, if you do this you will be surprised just how much Google knows about your site.
Every time you try some thing to increase your traffic/rank/Pr whatever, you should do so one thing at a time, and give Googles bots time to analyse the results and display them to you, normally i allow a week from completion of promotion to seeing it on screen in google
