@Jotham and Justin, Great points Jotham. 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 – Quality content – and in your case products – is key. And there are definitely ways to build, reciprocate, or buy links that can hurt you. However, links don’t come as naturally for most of us as any of us would like. That’s doubly true for ecommerce sites. Link building needs to be part of any SEO efforts you make. Otherwise, you’re just building 2 sides of your house.

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?…

Thanks for the list – some new ideas to me and good reminders too. Re: #3 We haven’t spent time specifically on link-building b/c did not want to get wrapped up in some link farm Google doesn’t like. Thought best to spend time creating quality content, and the inbound links will come. This has worked to a degree, but any white-hat inbound linking we can go after should probably be attempted. Any suggestions in addition to Aboutus.org?
