There is something for you as well even if you have an old and reputed blog in your niche, there must be some key points that you are missing towards it's promotion: Social Networks First thing that you can do is get active on all major social media websites.
Create a strong and well informed profile on websites like Twitter, Facebook and Orkut.
With this, become active on Social Bookmarking websites like Digg, Propeller, Delicious, Yahoo Buzz, Google Buzz etc and submit some of your latest stuff on these networks.
But don't try to flood these networks with lots of content from your website at a time.

Apply for Google Services Most important, apply for all major services provided by Google which you will need to run your wesite smoothly and for earning some revenue from its traffic.
So create an account on Google Analytics, Google Webmaster Tool, Feedburner and most importantly apply for a Google AdSense account, but let your blog get some age before you try getting an AdSense Account with that blog.
Become Active in BlogSphere Make a list of top bloggers in your niche while searching different keywords on Google you want to target on your blog.
Once you have that list, subscribe to their RSS Feeds and start leaving your feedbacks and comments on these blogs.
Another thing that you can do is send emails to these blog owners and ask them I'm interested in writing guest posts on their blogs.
When you send such emails to bloggers, there will surely be some bloggers who will turn back to you for guest post.
Apart from these, participate in blog contests, carnivals, and offer freebies to your blog readers.
