"'Live' in your network by comment/reply/share-ing where appropriate + providing useful content based on conversation"
Social Media plays a greater part of SEO as the web becomes a far more interactive, user-generated experience. Having honest engagement with customers, other websites and communities will bring genuine interaction and brand affinity. If you back this up with great content and you're going to naturally attract links. Becoming known within your niche as a value-provider will make you the first stop for citation.
Good content takes time, building real relationships takes time but the rewards are far-reaching. You can't pay for the coverage and links that true evangelists provide.
