I agreeSpend most of your time on building great content, but then spend time pushing that content. If you can find a social media site where your customers like to hang out, build a reputation there and use it to send traffic to your site. In addition to ehow and ezinearticles, you could write really great content and post it at web 2.0 properties like squidoo and hubpages with links back to yourself. There are many high value websites that allow you to enter your own content. Google likes the sites that have strong editorial guidelines in place. @Jotham and Justin, Great points Jotham.

Many places to get them even for ecommerce where it’s tougher to get links.  Think beyond just which sites, too.  How are you getting links?  Ever do a press release?  What about an article on ehow about how to pick the right air hockey game for the holidays?  How are you using social media?…
