You can do that, but those fake sites would not be of much use as they had no "authority/
pr".
So what you can do is do a search of sites/forums/blogs that "do follow" and hopefully have some
PR and leave comments with a link to your site. To skewer it to the keywords you want, anchor the backlinks with the keywords you are targeting.
Write some articles and submit them to Press Release webs and article directories.
Take a few good videos and post them in youtube.
If you do all that, you should be swimming in traffic soon.
