Geat Ideas.
I would add:

15. Create lenses on squidoo, hubpages and co.

16. Q&A sites like Yahoo answers.

17. Webmaster giveaways (for the IM-related niches)

18. Running an affiliate program.

19. Submit power point documents to slideshare and co.

20. Submit text documents (any format) to scribed and co.

21.These are some more advanced methodes and maybe not for the little guy (financial resources required) but they are really really effective (especially for cpa offers):
-Co-reg (co-registration)
-PPV (Pay Per View)

Nevertheless, you don't need to use them all. Indeed you shouldn't. All successful marketers focus on 2 or 3, which they master and use the other ones but only from time to time.

I hope I could help.
