Webertain,

I think that if you have a BETA version of your website online and within a week or two of completion you can do two things.

1) make a list of possible sites to link to and then put it into action as soon as the site goes live

2) contact the sites that you want to link to and have links on the site before you go live

Option 2 will get better results, especially for SE's like Google that like you to inbound links already established when you submit to them, or before they spider your site.
