Getting back links is central to website promotion - the more backlinks you have the more likely people are to find you, and as well as people, search engine spiders will index your site, and increase you pagerank. Amongst others, one source of backlinks is from peoples blogs - why not comment on what they have to say, while leaving a link back to your site? One problem could be finding the right blogs!
