Probably the best way to promote a blog is by guest posting on other blogs in a similar niche. You can add it to every online directory under the sun, but the chances of that generating any actual traffic are pretty slim. People mostly use that kind of process to crease backlinks to help them climb the Google pagerank ladder. To really increase traffic you need to get involved in your niche on a personal level. Guest posting is the best way of doing this, as it introduces you to people, lets you communicate with them through comments and also paints you as an expert in that area. Posting on forums and commenting on other blogs too are well worthwhile.
