[from what you said down there...]
When it comes to setting up social network based links, make sure it's relivent social networks, like forums based on your industry, and check the social network you're doing that on is indexed by google.... no point in hooking up on, for example, a year ago, Facebook, because the profile wasn't indexed.

blog-commenting is great, as you can say what you want, and thus make it relivent to the result you want.
Like, for example, if you find a blog based on a new product that needs marketing (which, without reading your site, I think is your main objective), you could leave a message like....

"Fantastic product, I like the way X does Y. Have you thought about branding on the site? Over at www.brandrep.co.uk, my friend managed to get the packaging done blahdy blah blah, email me at me at brandrep.co.uk and we'll see what we can do".

Email is fantastic, but not templated emails, I look for buisness cards with @hotmail or @gmail [etc] addresses, which mostly don't have any kind of website, and contact them personally. I tend to go through local newspapers, as that proves they're up for advertising, I say something like "Imagine an advert in the paper, but with no size limit on content, full colour, animated.... it's a great extention to your advert".

I like this & we will do it. Thank you.
We do email marketing (have an ACT! db with about 2000 companies on it) and I am using Linkedin to contact people directly as well.
