"Get at least one inbound link and make sure your blog and link are both crawlable."
That's all the secrets you'll need. You need a link to the blog from somewhere (even another page on your site). And make sure the blog itself is as free of coding errors and bulky code as possible.

Add a linkback to your blog in your signature file for all forums that you post in, use pingomatic.com to ping your site, and add to directories with decent pr (3 or higher) to increase linkbacks from higher pr sites.
