Dave Sifry (Technorati) just posted a short list of how to make your site popular. Follow the first link to see the details, but here's the bullet list:
React to others quickly
Make your posts easy to read
Link, Link, and then Link some more
Optimize for search engines (title and main URL)
Post, Post, and Post some more
I'd add that you should post on a set of topics, so that people start to learn what to expect from you.
