In this chapter, we've looked at some of the more advanced techniques for promoting your blog and growing traffic. We began by examining the RSS capabilities of WordPress and how they can be enhanced with FeedBurner. We discussed how to use blog search engines such as Technorati, as well as a variety of social media such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. We also examined the benefits of social bookmarking, using services such as Digg, Delicious, and Google +1.
In the next chapter, we stay on the theme of promotion and traffic-building by examining how your interaction in the blogosphere can create a mutually beneficial relationship with other bloggers.
