Hey,

I would suggest going with links on an actual high PR page. You should also subscribe to private blog networks such as linkvana and build my rank. Once you have a number of good quality links pointing to your site, you can try lowering the link quality and diversifying.

You can try Putting together Link Wheels

You can use squidoo, blogger and more to do this.
For example, lets say you got 10 squidoo pages, when creating these pages include a link to another squidoo page until the pages are all linked up and becomes a wheel. You will also need to include a link of the site you are trying to promote.

So you got all the pages in the wheel pointing to one site (the one you're promoting). And because the pages are linked, their backlink is a bit stronger.

For a new site I always suggest to my clients to start of course a slow and steady backlinking campaign. I suggest starting with some edu links and or social bookmarking links. The social bookmarks gets indexed very quickly and help get the site indexed. From there you can build more and more links as the weeks go on. Hope that helps!

The trick in optimizing search engine marketing and improving search engine ranking is building inbound links. However as more sites with "no-follow" language to links increase, finding quality sites to place back links to your own site is getting to be a problem. The following are four great back link suggestions which if auctioned can make a dramatic difference to your website resultsistributing Press Release, Squidoo.Com, HubPages.com, Yahoo/wiki answers

consider two factors, related content and high pagerank, that's it

I would suggest to submit your site to high PR directory sub sites, do relevant blog comments, relevant forum posting, article submission, blogging and profile links.
