1. Cross-post links to new blog entries via other social media (e.g., LI status update, FB, Twitter, etc).
2. Comment on the blogs of others addressing related subjects. Bloggers love commenters.
3. Tag and keyword richness will help tremendously for those searching for blogs addressing given topics.
4. A predictable and easily-understood update frequency.
Agree with Ed’s response and have three things to add. Firstly, as with face to face networking, the same golden rule applies to social networking – ‘give before you take.’ You can’t expect someone to comment on your blog or RT your tweet if you don’t do that for others. Secondly social networking communications are ‘a moment in time’ so are easily missed so you do need to be circulated more than once. Finally ‘content is king’ Unless you have something interesting to say in your blog it won’t drive traffic to your site and it won’t be picked up by search engines.
