• Participate at Related Forums & Blogs

Whatever industry or niche you’re in, there are bloggers, forums and an online community that’s already active.

• Tag Your Content. Technorati is the first place that you should be tagging posts.
• Link Intelligently

… quoting other bloggers or online sources (or even discussing their ideas) without linking to them is considered bad etiquette and can earn you scorn that could cost you links from those sources in the future. It’s almost always better to be over-generous with links than under-generous.

• Invite Guest Bloggers

Asking a well known personality in your niche to contribute a short blog on their subject of expertise is a great way to grow the value and reach of your blog.

• Eschew Advertising (Until You’re Popular)
• Go Beyond Text in Your Posts

Add images, interactive elements, the occasional multimedia content and some clever charts & graphs.

• Build a Brand. Possibly one of the most important aspects of all in blogging is brand-building.
