Im using social networking sites to promote my blog and also in forum posting. For me this two is the best way to generate traffic aside from being in the top of search engines.

Blog hopping is a good start to let others know you exist. Usually blogs have a comment box along their sidebar in which you can drop your messages. Also, do some blog submission to blog directories
