There are many ways you can use to promote your blog, These are the 10 methods that I use to increase traffic to my blog.
1) Technorati & Del.icio.us - Social bookmarking is getting popular now and more and more people tag their posts and publish in the sites like Technorati, delicious, diggs, flur, yahoo and many more. There is a plugin allow you to submit your post to these 2 social bookmarking sites. You can use the simpletag plus plugin for Wordpress to perform this task.
2) Directory - Submit to as many directory sites as possible in order to get more exposure and linking. You can use manual submission and automatic submission. For new blogs, I suggest you do manual submission until Google, Yahoo and MSN index your site. One of the directory I submit is Easy Wordpress Blog Directory. You can do the search in Google on other directory available for submission.
