Stumble all your new posts, also "Show off Your Blog" @ Bloggeries. Great way for real bloggers to actually find out about your site, visit it and post a critique. Also don't forget writing comments on similar blogs in your niche.
You can use the following ping services; If you are using wordpress add this to Admin > Options > Writing http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping http://rpc.pingomatic.com http://www.blogpeople.net/servlet/weblogUpdates http://bulkfeeds.net/rpc http://ping.myblog.jp http://ping.bitacoras.com http://ping.bloggers.jp/rpc/ http://bblog.com/ping.php http://blogsearch.google.com/ping The above will automatically be pinged each time you write a post. If you are in fact using wordpress there is a list of good plugins on my blog (located below my username) that help with SEO etc.
