several directory owners allows for submission of websites without reciprocal links. Use search function to find threads offering that and submit your sites there. If you're interested in links exchange, post a thread about it here and see if anyone'd be interested in link exchange with you. If you don't get much response, then you may need to spend some time here so people get to know you and feel more comfortable exchanging links with you.
Expecting that people would direct some of their hard earn traffic to your site just cause you asked for it may not yeald too much response. Good luck either way and welcome to GFY
