I'm "that guy" he is referring too. It will only work if the sites you get these from are QUALITY sites. To be a QUALITY site, they must have a constant flow of news and new information added to them. They must be related to your site! Also, they must have spiders crawling them to find your site, etc.
Without the site being a good link to you, it's pointless.
