One point to note though. Don't worry about directory submissions they are not going to benefit you unless it's DMOZ or BOTW.

You can either edit .htaccess file on your web server to do a 301 redirect or ask the support team of your web hosting company to do that for you." so now I just have one silly question when I submit my website to directories and advise others to link to me, shall i them to links back to a) <a href="http://www.mydomain.com" rel="nofollow">www.mydomain.com</a> or b) <a href="http://www.mydomain.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.mydomain.com</a> or doesn't it matter as both have www?

I made a mistake, when i began my blog 2 months ago, I started submitting <a href="http://mydomain.com" rel="nofollow">http://mydomain.com</a> to the directories, then I read some articles regarding backlinks and started telling people and directories to link to <a href="http://www.mydomain.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.mydomain.com</a> So if I now make this change in Google webmasters tool and point it to www, does that mean I have wasted all of my previous <a href="http://" rel="nofollow">http://</a> links ? Also is <a href="http://www.domain.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.domain.com</a> same as <a href="http://www.mydomain.com" rel="nofollow">www.mydomain.com</a> ? If I pick www - which one should i be using ?

Go to Google Webmaster dashboard and set a preferences for www or non-www URL. 2. You can either edit .htaccess file on your web server to do a 301 redirect or ask the support team of your web hosting company to do that for you. I am on Dreamhost and they have a setting the control panel so it is done automatically for me.
