You have to convince people to link to you. Links within your domain don't count. Posting to usenet makes lots of links as groups are archived on many websites. That's perhaps why some people continue to post their products here, in spite of being jumped on and gang-faqqed.

There are whole domains dedicated to questions like http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/showthread.php?t=2526 . The bit about too many keywords in url reducing rankings raised my eyebrows.
