    some are some great tips from my personal experience.

    Unique Content & Useful Information:
    The first & most important factor for any blog or site is the Content. Content is the king. People always appreciate unique & useful information. Quality content can help you in your link baiting activity also, to create the buzz in the industry. Content is the only way of viral marketing, people will automatically come to your blog.

    Submit your Blog to Blog directories: There are 100’s of free blog directories available on the net where you can submit your blog for free. It will help you to get back links also. But take care of the relevancy. Always submit your blog in to relevant directories.

    Here are some directories:

    PR: 8 Technorati
    PR: 8 Blogarama.com
    PR: 7 blogcatalog.com
    PR: 7 eatonweb.com
    PR: 7 ping-o-matic.com
    PR: 7 blogtoplist.com
    PR: 6 WeBlogALot.com
    PR: 6 BlogHop.com
    PR: 6 blogdir.com
    PR: 6 blog-directory.org
    PR: 5 blogroll.net
    PR: 5 biggerblogger.com
    PR: 4 blogrankings.com

    RSS Feed: Always create RSS feed for your blog. You can submit your feed URL in to various RSS submission sites.

    Social Book Marking Buttons: Give various options to your visitors to book mark your blog easily. These buttons are also helpful in viral marketing. Like if someone book mark your blog on del.icio.us and then share it with his/her network, then your content will automatically get publicized without any effort.

    Participate in Relevant Forums: You should participate in forums relevant to your niche, but take care of the guidelines. Genuine participation can help you get the traffic so don’t try to spam, Otherwise, you will loose your credibility. Forum participation will also help you to get back links (from signature).

    Social Communities & Networking Sites: Start creating profile on social community sites & build your network. Strong networking can bring lots of visitors to your site.

    Join The Bloggers Groups: You can join relevant bloggers groups. By writing some quality post you can get traffic to the blog and some back links also.

    Reciprocal Linking: This is a good technique to get back links to your blog. You can contact other blog masters to exchange link with your blog. But I will not advice you to participate aggressively in to these link exchange schemes.

    Blog Commenting: Start commenting (Genuinely) on other relevant blogs. Comments on Dofollow blogs can help you to get back links.

    I am sure you will be benefited from these blog promotion tips. :)

    Do follow comments and plugins like the Top Commentator plugin also help attract a lot of regular readers to your blog.

    great summary very helpful indeed. I think that blogs have to rely increasingly on good PR rank and a good link building strategy because it's diffiuclt to optimise your own page names, which is key to good SEO. One website you can choose your own name for a webpage but in a blog this is normally generate for you by the blogging software and is usually less efficient

    Great post. Content is definitely one of the best ways to promote your blog. I hate when I visit a blog and it hasn't been updated in over a year. If I find a blog with good content, I refer my friends, who refer their friends, etc. It can only help build traffic.

    Blog commenting has really helped me promote my own blog. I try to comment on very popular sites, but I always make sure I leave a relevant comment. If it's useful to other readers, and it can benefit your blog traffic, it's a win-win situation.

    These are some nice hints. I will definitely use the ones I didn't know, I have a feeling it will boost the traffic to my blog a lot.

    Writing good content isn't always easy though, but it is definitely needed if you want people to come back.

    Kudos to you for the info.
