These are the traditional ways to build links, there are no easy ways around them. I would like to also add: Press Release Submissions.
I personally Suggest Social NEtworking That will Give You TRafic and Links as well, Digg, Stumble, Delicious and Twitter will Might help you to get Traif and Links.....
