If you plan to put ads on the site the honest thing to do is put them on from the beginning.

Otherwise you're just intentionally misleading (lying to) any sites you ask to link to you.

If you have to lie to potential link partners to get a lousy link, your site probably isn't ready for prime time anyhow.
