Suggestions for Effectively Using Blogging and Social Media?

I'm looking for suggestions on how to effectively use blogging and social media to improve my rankings in Google and the other SE's.

I've got the basics set-up. Blog on my web site, RSS feed with my domain (via feedburner), permanent links for every post, Digg-Furl-Del.ico.us links and a listing on Technocrati. I've also submitted my blog or feed to every blog portal that I can find. (For those interested, I use Top 55 to find blog and RSS directories. You have to manually submit to each directory, so if you haven't been to this site, a lot a good amount of time for this.)

I saw an article on SEOChat suggesting that I use the comments section of every post to mention any back-links. The idea was that this would build goodwill, make my blog seem more authoritative and encourage others to back-link as well. This strategy would create more outbound links however. Any thoughts on this?

Or does somebody have other suggestions?
