    Commenting on other blogs is a really effective way of promoting a blog. Comment often, and you'll find yourself a new influx of readers and visitors.

    All In One SEO and Google XML sitemap plugins are must.
    Other than that go for social bookmarking, RSS feeds, Blog commenting, and join Blogging communities as well, like technorati etc..

    Social bookmarking is the best and easiest way.
    Reddit and Stumbleupon are two good visitor sources.

    there aren't really wordpress plug-ins that would directly submit your site to directories but they do have that commentluv plug-in that leaves a link of your latest posts to blog comments you make. That help a lot not only with backlinks but with traffic too.

    Nothing seems to be working, I am stuck at 100 visitors a day.

    Can someone tell me exactly what you would do if you were attempting to get up to 500 pageviews a day?

    First of all submit sitemap to google and then try social bookmarking plugins to make it easy for your visitors to submit your post

    I built a new site at the beginning of this month. I started promoting it 10 days ago and am up to 1200 page views and 400 uniques yesterday.

    I built the site to sell, to someone exactly like you, who wants to blog and have a site SEOed and automated to promote itself so if you do add good content, you will gain good traffic.

    one of the key features is that it automatically updates 22 different social network sites.. and is able to ping for about 25 different RSS feeds that promote different sections of the site.

    Haven't had anywhere near as much interest as I hoped in it so far... but if you want to know exactly how you can get well past 500 pageviews fast, I do pretty much explain the entire system in detail here:

    Some can be good for direct traffic, some can be good for SEO (backlinks)

    Be careful, not use illegal method to promote your blog. Google SE penalizes your blog.

    Make sure you are using All In One SEO and Google XML sitemap. And make sure that you use GOOD tags.
