Before you go out and start building links, read some link building tutorials or ebooks. There are some things you need to avoid to prevent penalties: -using the same anchor text for too many links...it is better to vary the link anchor text a lot -building a very large volume of links in a short period of time...debatable whether this always results in a penalty, but best to play it safe -getting a lot of links from unrelated websites...probably won't get you penalized but creates a poorly themed link profile To start building links do some research about the following link building strategies: article submission, press release submission, social bookmarking, forum signatures, blog commenting, social networking profile links, squidoo & hubpages, link baiting, etc. Find several strategies that seem to work for you and keep regularly building links using good anchor text.
The best way to build your link popularity and increase traffic is by writing articles and submitting them to the top article directories.
Just spend a few days reading some blogs and threads on link building, it will save you a million question and it's a good learning experience.

How important are the dofollow links as opposed to nofollow links? How much do they truly matter in the algorithms? Anyone have any idea?
Yes dofollow links are important, nofollow aren't so much, but from sites like Squidoo or Hubpages they are important. Also try to comment on blogs which are loved by Google, this will help you also get indexed faster.
Could anyone give me some important mail IDs. so that after proper conversation I could get more links.
I would have to disagree about article directories. Sure, you will get some decent links from Ezine, Go articles, and Buzzle, but Google is not giving a lot of value to these sites anymore because of all the spammers that are using them. Blog commenting is good if the links are do follow. Forum linking takes a TON of links to even matetr. I would concentrate and contacting bloggers to get some high profile links on high PR websites and vary your anchor text as much as you can. Backlinking should be a regular part of your day and week so get a ritual down.
There is some great information there, thanks to all of you sharing, just remember as well when blogging make sure you blog about stuff that is relevant to your site, eg if you are a flower company don't go and blog on a site that is all about oil.
