Hi Thiru.b:
There are many ways to get backlinks. The white-hat ways are:
- Listing your site with directories
- Posting blog comments
- Posting forum comments
- Article Marketing
- PR Marketing
- Social Media marketing, such as Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, etc.
There are more, but you get the idea. These all come under "off-site" SEO. You also want to do your on-site SEO so your off-site SEO is fully effective.
There are a lot of postings on each of those areas. If you want to start with Directoy Postings, for example, see the Tutorial I wrote and posted here.
Don't forget to list your site with Google, Bing, Alexa, and DMOZ!
DO NOT expect your site to reach the first page of Google, Bing, and Yahoo immediately. It WILL take months. Off-site SEO is not a project, it is a continuing process.

Directory submissions for the purposes of SEO is mostly a grey hat technique and certainly not whitehat. White hat SEO generally ceases after listing to the ODP.
Commenting on someone else's post for the purpose of dumping links is a grey hat to black hat SEO technique.
Having a forum signature filled with keyphrase rich hyperlinks and/or puking out links on forum posts for the sole purpose of hoping the search engine somehow like this is really very silly, useless and nothing than another greyhat spam sandwhich.

Hi CanadaFred:
I am unsure what you mean when you say "Grey Hat technique". I am still a newbie, I suppose, but I have never heard of "Grey Hat technique"s.
While you may not like directory postings, they have worked well for me. They have been a key part of my getting onto the first page of Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Of course, it took more than six months, but I DID get there.
You recommended posting your link to ODP only. Unfortunately, that has not worked for me. It has been almost 2 years, and my link has never been posted in ODP/DMOZ.
While I recommended commenting on blogs, forum postings, etc., I certainly did not recommend you put a lot of spammy links in your forum signature.
Again, as with just about anything, moderation is key. You can obviously log on to a new website and put up a bunch of spammy forum/blog posts; how often have we seen that here? What I did was find blogs and forums in my areas of interest, and try to make intelligent, useful comments. The links generated, if any, are secondary or even tertiary; the knowledge gained is what is most useful.

There is no specific method just stick to basics, use all the link building techniques, and use them in a way that SE's done think that you are spamming.. eventually your slink will get picked up by all SE's
