New Domain - best way to get a ranking

Hi,

I have a new site, built in wordpress. I have had a domain for about 3 years which now just redirects to this domain I purchased 2 days ago.

What is the best course of action for SEO without getting blacklisted?
Is it too soon for an X rummer?
Would it be better to get submitted to search engines?

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.


Thanks,

R.

Start slow, build a few backlinks, couple of articles/pr for 1-2 weeks.
