As someone who has hired Unix System administrators, web developers, designers, etc for large and small companies, I will say that to me, experience trumps certificates, but studying for the right certificate may be the best first step for experience.
I wonder how much experience helps/hinders when getting a certification. I remember back when I was looking at a CNE certification (that kind of dates me I guess) and one other Novell admin's observation was the certification exam was about giving Novell's answers rather than what you learned in real world usage.
