From my experience on a social networking site, I would say #3 helped me the most. People who comment are people who will link to your blog. People who will read your blog. Find those commentors and buddy up with them. Blog on a I'm also trying the strategy on placing links to my blogs in the comments section of buzz-generating sites - Digg, Techcrunch, Celebrity Bloggers (eg. Leo Laporte on Vox) etc. It's also critical to blog almost everyday.

No, that's the best way to get short term hits and long term distain....Write quality articles and submit them by all means... There's no quick way to build a community... The only way to build a community is by participating in one...

Thumbnails are usually okay, it lets people know you have images to accompany a post, then from the thumbnail you can pull up a photo gallery or whatever. People hate to have content forced on them, but they want easy access to it when they decide they want it. Small images also helps load times.

I host my own security blog here> <a class="user" href="http://marcin.thelinuxdiaries.com/">http://marcin.thelinuxdiaries.com/</a> and I've gotten a lot more traffic by becoming a part of the Security Bloggers Network on Feedburner> <a class="user" href="http://networks.feedburner.com/Security-Bloggers-Network">http://networks.feedburner.com/Security-Bloggers-Network</a> . Also, redirecting my rss/rss2/atom feed to <a class="user" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/tssci">http://feeds.feedburner.com/tssci</a> has helped with cleaning up the presentation in various RSS readers and removing ASCII code characters that would show up in place of symbols like &, , ", etc..In addition, posting links to other blogs in your "blogroll" will notify other blog's admin panels. I'll usually link back to other interesting blogs that link to mine.
