Also, do not overlook social bookmarking sites like del.icio.us and shadows. The search engines are aware of what gets bookmarked on these sites so, to cover all the bases, bookmark your sites here.

If the links that you place in forum are tagged as nofollow, I don't think this strategy would work.

It's never a good idea to advertise anywhere JUST for the backlink. Real traffic is much more important. Posting in relevant forums can make you a leader in your industry, give your site authority, generate word of mouth and viral advertising, and make both you and your site reputable.

This is the first step towards a viral marketing campaign where lots of other sites constantly link to you organically because you know what you're talking about and are an authority in your industry.

I agree, it is not enough to just sell a product. I started with just a CD for sale and since have added free music for the cd, music history, then folk history, links to these, off subject links like other links of interest and still growing each day.
Now don't get me wrong. I am here to learn how to get more visitors myself.

participate in lots of forums and advertise your site in your signature.
participate in webmaster promotion and seo forums such as this one.
be sure to get listed in Yahoo! and the DMOZ directory.
use static links that end in .htm or .html.
use mod_rewrite to "cover-up" your dynamic pages.
choose a few keywords you wish to target and use them a lot throughout your site.
use a very clear, intuitive, consistant navigation scheme.

I'll think of more stuff, don't worry
