If you want to links to your website then check out this article, it covers all the basics you need to know for starting your own link exchange.

Well� since Dazlindonna already made a �SEO for newbies� post, I figured it was the right time to do a �link popularity for newbies� post.

Link development is one of the most important features you should focus when SEO'ing a website. Google is taking link popularity as a main point while deciding where to place a website in the SERPs, it seems as if a backlink for Google means that another website is giving you a �vote�, so the more good votes you have, the better.
You can check your current link popularity visiting the search engines and typing the command. For example at Google you would type link:www.yourdomain.com, at Yahoo you would type linkdomain:www.yourdomain.com. You can also use one of the many tools out there, and make your job easier. I use marketleap (http://www.marketleap.com/publinkpop/), which gives you the result of the main engines."
