    Find DoFollow blogs and comment on them.
    Post on forums with your blog in your signature.
    Submit to digg/stumbleupon/mixx/delicious

    In no real order, and I can't really think of 5.

    Blog Commenting
    Directory Submission
    Article Marketing
    On-sight SEO
    Do something else that is creative, some type of prize related to your niche perhaps.

    There are a lot of strategies to follow, but it all boils down to getting relevant backlinks to your site.

    1. Write some articles, submit them to article directories.
    2. Submit your url to social bookmarking sites.
    3. Submit your RSS feeds to directories.
    4. Write press release & submit them to press release distribution sites.
    5. If it's a blog, ping your site

    And with social bookmarking, be careful that you don't post all your own links. That becomes pretty obvious really quickly.

    I have done it all and still continue to do it all but have noticed that my blog became popular once I started branding it and making it an influence in my niche. Before I wrote article after article on the blog but never saw a huge amount of traffic until I started trying to get stories syndicated etc.

    I avoid submitting blogs to RSS directories. I had a bad experience with them. In Google search results, the RSS sites rank higher than my sites. They get the traffic and I lost the traffic. Most people don't proceed clicking the RSS url that points to your blog. They just stay there and look around.

    Dude, hit the internet pavement. Post in forums that allow signatures. Comment on similar blogs etc etc. There is no magic site to go to OR way to do it.

    The best way is to just write quality content and get organic search engine traffic. If you have a unique approach the traffic will come.

    I think Blog Commenting and Directory Submission are good was to promote your blog. Also SEO plugins are good.
