I would include "start a corporate blog and stick with it". If you don't know how to set one up on your site (using sites like Blogger is easy, but doesn't help as much with SEO) and you're paying someone to build your main website for you, get them to set up a blog for you to.

Writing a blog post once a week on a topic related to your business will increase the keyword count on your site and attract other bloggers to link to your site. Also, make sure you submit your posts to social bookmarking sites like Technorati and Digg. I actually wrote a news release for one of my public relations clients on this topic last spring.
