Useful for mobile but not the main contributor to SEO.

Backlinks across multiple pages reinforces page rank so this has to be
used with discretion.

But the two most important things to get right are referring links and
unique content. Without those two things you have a low page rank. End of
story.
All the other things that you can do help to increase page rank but those
two are the most important. The higher ranked the referring link the more
weight it has for page rank. That's why corporations spend a lot of money
for clickthrough placements and sponsored article posts on highly ranked
websites with high visitor count. Of course they spend even more money on
directly targeted ads but that is not SEO just digital marketing.
