Hi,

Here are 14 tips of blog promotion:

1. Write Well and Write Often
2. Submit Your Blog to Search Engines
3. Use and Update Your Blogroll
4. Harness the Power of Comments:: Commenting is a simple and essential tool to increase your blog's traffic. First, respond to comments left on your blog to show your readers that you value their opinions and draw them into a two-way conversation. This will increase reader loyalty.
5. Syndicate Your Blog's Content with an RSS Feed
6. Use Links and Trackbacks
7. Tag Your Posts: It takes a few extra seconds to add tags to each of your blog posts, but it's worth the time in terms of the additional traffic tags can drive to your blog. Tags (like links) are easily noticed by search engines. They're also key to helping readers find your blog when they perform searches on popular blog search engines
8. Submit Your Posts to Social Bookmarking Sites
9. Remember Search Engine Optimization:: When you write your blog posts and pages, remember to optimize your pages for search engines to find them. Include relevant keywords and links but don't overload your posts with too many relevant keywords or completely irrelevant keywords. Doing so can be considered spamming and could have negative results such as your blog being removed from Google's search entirely.
10. Don't Forget Images:: Images don't just make your blog look pretty, they also help people find you in search engine listings. People often use the image search options offered by Google, Yahoo! and other search engines, and naming your images with search engine optimization in mind can easily boost your traffic.
11. Consider Guest Blogging
12. Join Forums, Web Rings or Online Groups:: Find online forums, web rings, groups or social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn where you can share ideas and ask questions of like-minded individuals. Add a link to your blog in your signature line or profile, so each time you post on a forum or participate in another online network, you're indirectly promoting your blog.
13. Nominate Yourself and Other Blogs for Blog Awards
14. Don't Be Shy:: The most important part of the blogosphere is its community and much of your success as a blogger will be tied to your willingness to network with that community. Don't be afraid to ask questions, join conversations or just say hi and introduce yourself. Don't sit back and hope the online world will find you. Speak out and get yourself noticed.

Nice tips .Thanks for share .I really learned a lot

you only need to establish a few rules that will be applied sitewide:

* Use an interesting title - Also known as linkbaiting - your title should captivate the user to read more
* Try to use your blog keywords in the title - while it may be hard to always do this, by keeping the title related to the topic, your blog will always be relevant
* Use the H1 tags - All blog editors allow for custom templates, so be sure to stylize your blog title in the H1 tags
* Link to other blogs - Find other related blogs that your readers might find interesting, and ask for a link in return
* Don't forget about your archives - You may post a topic that isn't hot at the moment, but comes up later - make sure your readers can find that posting

As stated above, the key to a successful blog is frequent postings. You don't need to write up an article everytime, two paragraphs and maybe some resource links is what a typical posting should be comprised of.

SEO Master

Frequent postings has nothing to do with SEO and actually, according to a study, it's the number one reason why people quit subscribing to a RSS feed (Source). If your blog is geared towards the user, stick to only making posts that are of good quality and worth someone's time to read.

Another one: turn your posts into podcasts so you can get links from podcast directories and websites.

thanks dude, It such a great help... Lol, I was just thinking of my topic for my blog then I saw this post...
