Social networking is strictly give to get. It takes months of posting unique content frequently to attract viewers who will actually submit comments. The best way to get comments on your own posts is to leave meaningful comments on blogs with similar content to what's in your own blog. Set a goal of commenting on "X" number of blogs weekly and carry through.

These 5 videos introduce how Google discovers, crawls, indexes your site’s pages, and how Google displays them in search results. It also touches lightly upon challenges webmasters and search engines face, such as duplicate content http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/03/22/5google-webmasters-video-tutorials/

Pillar posts are also referred to as flagship content. Pillar posts are comprehensive posts that offer great value to readers as the contents are timeless in nature. They define you as having authority in the niche you blog in.
6. Select and link to appropriate anchor text;
7. Leave meaningful comments on related blogs and encourage comments on your own blog;

The tweet button does this automagically for your readers so that it can then be pasted straight into a twitter post.

BTW in case someone forgets to tell you this here is the link to the wordpress.com global tag pages. http://en.wordpress.com/tags/
There you will be able to locate blogs by category/tag that you can visit, read posts and leave comments on.

In addition, your posts and/or blog may be selected to appear in wordpress.com's Freshly Pressed, Top Blogs, and Recent Posts. If so then you will receive an influx of traffic and responding to each and every comment personally will be important as it's a means of forming relationships with new readers from within the wordpress.com community, who may become regular readers/subscribers/commenters.

At the end of the day, if you do not use social media and social networks to promote your blog posts and blog then you will find building a growing readership is more difficult as the audience you reach will be limited, and social networking tremendously expands the audience you can connect with.
