I'd say stress more on social media now like Facebook, Twitter etc. Social Bookmarking is good too. Pinterest is becoming popular. I use it and I've seen good traffic from that source alone coming to my blog. Article writing is still good as far as bringing in traffic, of course you have to keep writing consistently.
you can post Directory, Bookmark, Blog Comment, and Blog sharing on Twitter, Facebook, Digg, stumble...thanks
HI, I was thinking on what is your purpose on creating your blog? If you want, you could use 1 link to your site and 1 link to an authority sites. What do you think?
