    Write interesting articles on your blog. If you have useful content, other internet resources will place links to this content and your blog will be promoted automatically.

    here are a few things you can do at the start to build up blog traffic.

    1. Add the blog to blog search engines.
    2. Write comments on other people's blogs.
    3. Post on forums.
    4. Write to other bloggers suggesting a link trade.

    First Road that I took toward promoting my blog was Social Media. Ofcourse I had content on the site, but that is the default. I went on many different social media services, some I stayed on and some I didn’t. These social media services includes Digg, Stumbleupon, Twitter, Plurk, Entrecard, Mybloglog, and more which I won’t mention otherwise this post will get too long

    Here are the best ways to promote a blog:
    1. Be active on social media. That doesn't mean you have to be everywhere all at once, though. Choose a couple social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook and get involved with the communities there and post links to your articles.
    2. Guest posting. This is huge. Find blogs that aim at your same niche and see if they accept blog posts.
    3. Have great content. Content is king. If you have great content that people like, they will share it with other people. Also, if you do great marketing, but then people come to your site and they don't like your content, they'll just leave anyway. Your content is your best marketing.
    4. Create free resources, like ebooks. This is a big draw.

    There are hundreds of ways to advertise and drive traffic to a blog. One way is guest posting on other blogs that are topical to your niche. Another way is submitting your blog posts/homepage to social bookmarking websites. Forums are also another extremely powerful way to drive traffic to your website. Again, make sure the forums you post on are topical to your blog.

    Yeah, probably one of the best ways you can promote it for free is to find popular blogs in your niche and offer to write some guest articles for them, and give them exclusive rights to the articles (so that the content will be unique to them), in exchange for putting a link to your website at the end of the blog post. Basically the same as doing article marketing, except that your article will be going to a blog instead of an article directory.

    I've followed this website for awhile: bloggernoob.com (can't link, because of Peon status) - but lots of great info. I've learned a lot from his mistakes. Great resource!

    A great way to spread your blog is to guest write for other people, and post excerpts of your blog post on forums.

    i don't think you need to go with advertising here. Just try to do other activities like blog commenting, participate in forums actively, submit your feeds to feed directories, write articles and get links, etc. You can think of advertisement at later stages

    Start writing quality articles and update your blog REGULARLY. There is nothing worse than to stop adding to your blog and expecting it to keep going on it's own. In regards to your question promoting your blog can come in many different forms; you could use social media, social bookmarking, buy ads on popular blogs, comment in popular DOFOLLOW blog sites, get your SEO up to scratch. Basically there are many ways you can promote your website/blog, it all depends on your niche, your audience and your budget.

    Consider making a short video, adding it to youtube along with with your promotions on facebook or twitter and add seo to the videos to gain a little more publicity, done correctly you could do pretty well.

    Just my thoughts though.

    Keep on adding content and bookmarking, submit your rss feed. And the blog should be your own personal blog. Brand yourself and it will be very easy to promote..

    Write quality content that will be really helpful to those searching for how-tos, etc... The more information you give out, the more people will go to your blog.
