Directory submissions are one of the key ways you will get ranked. For a new site this is an important 1st step. This is one of the best methods I have used over the last 9 years hands down. You can add your unique titles, description metadata and keywords to the right directories. And remember reciprocal links (link exchanges) continue to be a core part of your online marketing strategy.Personally I recommend this method because whilst it takes time the payoff is great.

You can also use a Text Link Broker and buy permanent one way links on your site. When you do this you will see dramatic increases in your Search Engine Rankings
