You also need to get some links to your site otherwise the backlinks are useless. Try Linkspun.com

I will eventually let people set up their own, but I'm alpha testing this idea and for now want control of what gets posted, especially in our industry. The consequences of somebody signing up and putty illegal content all over the place are too frightening to contemplate.
There are 2 pieces to your second remark... My understanding is that a one-way backlink from a 0 still has value, though clearly not as much as if it had a 2 or 3 or more. So I don't think under their rules, a 0 backlink is worthless. Just look at all the zeros trading with each other on Linkspun.
As for using Linkspun, I understood that google's latest algorithm change made 1 to 1 backlink trades a net negative, worse than worthless, they actually take away from your standing. That's why the idea was to create 1 way links even if they were from a 0.
On the last 2 portions I'd be interested to hear if you or anyone else had heard differently on the way the rules work since the last algorithm overhaul. I'm working off the understanding that all backlinks have some value, as long as they're not traded links.
