        I'm going to answer generally since there's not a lot of info here.  If you can manage to get good relevant links to your page, that's always helpful.  I'm not sure what you have on the domain right now, but if you have some sort of placeholder page with decent design and some kind of teaser or information for what will be there, this can be a very effective way to drum up excitement.  Off the top of my head mailbox (http://www.mailboxapp.com/) had a placeholder page for months, where you can sign up for a waiting list for the app.  It drew a lot of press, a lot of sign ups, and yes, a lot of links to a page that was not much more than a placeholder.

        On the other hand, if you don't have anything there now and don't plan on doing so, I would stay away from just trying to build spammy or otherwise unrelated links.  It could and probably will hurt you in the long term.

        • I am getting links on people's wordpress blogs but are not showing up on the just discovered tool. Is it true that wordpress links are no-follow links that do give off any link-juice?

        • Great idea to get back links in short order; however the links would be unrelated. . Is it worth the effort . BTW, it's a white hat method. Should I proceed?
