        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.

        • For a new site, does it matter which sites I get back links from first? I.e., are the first back links more important than later ones?
