Submitting to quality directories, yes this is where my main traffic come from.

I don't understand your question about free service I can offer in exchange of for links?

I am participating a little in forums and discussion groups, but on the very specific Hawaiian products, there are not a lot.

When starting to find some quality blogs, most of the time they are general, not specific to my topics, and once again the cost of these links will put a higher price on the products we are selling, and I dont want to do that.

My site is a little bit different then others, because we are selling products from different manufacturers that no one does.

We give a prompt service to our target audience that no one else does, this is easy to check on the testimonials page, this page is not fake but real.
We offer decorating ideas on our articles for our products.
We also offer gift giving tips, not only for baskets.

Well I've got a few natural links, but not much.

Thanks Cricket, any other suggestions?

I think you missed my point about target audiences and how they relate to your site. Let's say for example that your target audience is moms who are desperate for Calgon Take Me Away moments in their lives. Then I would focus on finding some forums and discussion groups that consist primarily of moms. In terms of blogging, there are a ton of ways to focus on topics that moms would love to read about. Your English seems fine to me. If you are worried, then use a grammar checker.

I like your attitude. You are looking for a way to solve your issues. Too many people get hung up on believing that it can't be done. I have a little sign on my desk that says, "Let's find some ways that it CAN be done".
