This may be true. But your Yahoo Backlinks can be used as a measure of site popularity - good for advertisers and such. TNX, for example, looks at both Yahoo backlinks and Google pagerank.

Both PageRank and Yahoo Backlinks seems to me to be more about advertising than traffic anyway - so use the resources as best you can.

Leave you links in digg. DIGG can make your site get indexed faster...

Well you can yourself find your search engine ranking on google.... keep a check of these things:

- Traffic on your web

- Submissions to Directories
- Submission to social bookmark websites (use Bookmark Submitter Pro)

You will see gradual increase in your search engine ranking

you can submit your site from Google webmaster cetral & in yahoo also your can do the same. this will help you to get index your site but if looking for cached your site so do some SBM for your site. this will give you fast result.

you can create xml site map for your website and submit it into webmaster tool. It will helps you to index your page.

there is such a tool, which's called Google website submit - this will help you to start your trip to the Goole top.
Good Luck

And before that you have to make sure your site is search engine ready.

To submit your site to various search engines you need to add your website in Google, Yahoo, & Bing directories which would add website link to Google & Yahoo.

if you submit your site to social bookmarking sites like yahoo buzz, digg, delicious, reddit few others etc..you will see your site getting indexed fast.

I believe it is better to get your website indexed organically. As one poster mentioned used digg to do this. Or, reddit. Then ping them. You should have your website indexed withing 24 hours!
