Use Twitter as a resource to spread the word and answer questions. Same goes for Facebook or other social networking. I think you get my point. If people forget abut Google and Pagerank and do these type of things the links , serps and traffic will come. Think of being on page one of Google as a bonus to the traffic you have already gained.
