Who said this to you? No link building is still effective for SEO. But yes there are lots of changes have from time to time. As Google has been so smart, you can't use black hat or spam techniques for creating backlinks. Natural link building has always worth.

I think link building is still effective as before.
Google improved his algorithm in many way, adapting it to an environment (the Web) in continous evolution.
But links between sites remain the "core" of Google and of WWW in general.

Links still matter and it is still effective in SEO. It is still the best way to improve search visibility. Link building naturally goes hand in hand with other online marketing activities. It sends positive signals to Google, and can help improve a bad backlink profile. When done correctly, link building can help create and propel new relationships.

It is still effective but not at all like it was like 5 years ago when automatic softwares were used to build tons of links.

Nowdays link building is more leaned towards quality then quantity of the links. It is till close to impossible to rank without links, but if links are spammy or irelevant you are risking to get penalized.

Lots of people here repeat them selves, however there is one key element you need to know about the changes of link building.

Google has reversed the process, so now it matter more whats on the website where your links are coming from, - hence shitty links give you shitty results (worst case a penalty) - than what is on the website where the links land.

In other words, make sure your links are relevant for your own website, and that they are coming from strong domains with a lot of trust.
