Informative article.... I really liked points like RSS and Social networking site....but I am bit considered about META TAGS, search engine like Google are changing themselves pretty fast and I afraid on-page activities will be lost in near future... Thou, importance of keyword research remains as usual..
Content is key here. Give the people a reason to want to visit your site repeatedly.

Blogging is one of the way to promote your online business driving a lot of traffic to your blog. Your post is very much informative and helpful. Keep up the good work. All the best.
To promote a blog, first of all make sure to put on appealing and interesting content. I mean no matter how many tips and tricks you apply, if the actual content in itself is not appealing, visitors might visit but go on without reading. So make the layout, color scheme, background theme and the content appealing with graphics, videos etc. Secondly, use on page and off page SEO from blog comments and forum posts to earn backlinks to your blogs.
