Link building would be great
You need to get your interesting content read by many people, one way you can do is to bookmark it using digg or stumbleupon.

That depends entirely on your purpose. If it's a blog, then you can post one article a day. If it's a site, you don't really need to update your content very often. You can create an article or press release section in your site so you can post your fresh contents.

Videos, I think it depends on your niche. If you're site/blog is bout tutorials, arts/crafts, yoga or karate then a video will certainly help
About the pictures, I find it essential. Why? because I easily get bored with sites that's full of text and not a single image/picture in sight (except for the buttons
).

I believe SEO is a continuous process, once you stop you'll get left behind your competitors.

If I do not have a link page then where do I put all of the links that I link with?

Were you referring to a "Link Exchange Partners Page"? If so, then yes. Creating a dedicated page just for your link partners would be the best way rather than putting their links on the footer of your index page.

Yes! It's the best and most important thing in link building that you should do
One way links are better than 2-way. One way links get even better if you can acquire it from high ranking or high PR sites which are related to your niche.

* Have you checked your targeted keywords? Make sure you have the right set of keywords to optimize.
* Did you use your targeted keywords inside your content? If not, then you better do so
* Have you created your xml and html sitemaps? Submit your xml sitemap to Google, Yahoo and MSN for faster indexing of your pages. The html sitemap may be optional, that is if you have few pages.
GOOD LUCK!!!
