I am fairly new to the site and still haven't had time to see everything.

Good luck! There is some much here I not sure it's humanly possible read all the old stuff, keep current with the new, and partisapate, unless, maybe, if you were a speed reader and spent every waking moment at this site.

I am always suprised and amazed by the wealth of information on this site.

An understatement!

Back to the topic...
It's very possible to have an ecommerce site with a lot of content about the widgets and related news. Also, considering you're selling something, it might be worth it to pay for a link. To get someone to want to link to you, you will need to give them something in return: either content or money.

BTW, you could also use something like AdWords to generate traffic.
