For professional blogs use LinkedIn as it is the largest professional social media site.
2. E-Mail List - Build an e-mail subscriber list and import all your contacts from Gmail, Yahoo or other accounts and filter the list whom you think your updates would be most relevant. You may note not to produce spam in the mails as this may result in blocking your site instead.

6. Subscription - Include multiple locations for subscription to blogs, notifications and updates.

11. Internal Links - Include internal links to related content on your blog pages to keep your readers shifting within your domain and get all the content that is required from your pages.
12. Backlinks - You may try this out for adding few backlinks to other’s sites and add them to yours as a mutual exchange to get some traction but it is advised not to overdo it as placing external https:// links would not only slow down your site but also take your visitors away from your site.
