How to make blog popular?

How to make your blog effective??

Let me try to put here in very layman angle...

• From the Content [King of your blog] side.. it should be RICH..
  RICH = TEXT + GRAPHIC + ANIMATION + VIDEO
• Your content should have tagging to key words [even m not following this properly].... Like wikipedia. But keep one thing in mind... whenever u hyperlink any keyword within your content. Make target = new window, so that user will not lose your page.
• Write proper TAGS / LABELS + DESCRIPTIONS + KEYWORDS ... its part of SEO [Search engine Optimizations]... it makes your blog searchable on internet.
• Register your site on all search engines [yahoo, live, aol .. google]...There are number of sites where you can register your blogs, that works for you as a SEO.. .like BLOGCATALOG, BLOGADDA..
  example:-- http://www.blogadda.com/blogs/artsmaths-artsrajesh/, http://www.blogcatalog.com/blogs/artsmaths.html
• Keep your blogs as a mail signature, it shows your presents on internet
• Keep update your blogs with latest informations
• There are very effective widgets from google-blogs, include those all in ur blogs example--- LABELS
