I agree here, get a domain related to your niche. Provide / Post 1-2 original content in your own words. Allow reprint rights for pointing back to your site. Write short, full of tips articles to ezinearticles, articlesbase etc... Doing this would give you a very good start
Thanks for your suggestion.. I found wordpress plugin and pigomatic as new terms for me.. will definitely use it.. chk out this also: http://webmasterdailytips.com/2009/10/how-to-promote-your-blog/
well i guest all the comment above was correct...with unique content then you do some marketing to yr blog by blog walking dont forget to post sm comment and also joining forum i think that will increase ur traffic...good luck
Write posts with alot of keywords inside (need efforts though), ping it, then do it for the next 3 days...
there is far more to it than that, so many people have blogs these day original content IS A MUST, but its not the be all and end all. SEO is needed now to even be remotley close to getting good traffic figures. htaccess rules for speed pretty permalinks correctly configured robots meta tags nofollow tag links and outgoing links ect. all of these things are a MUST these days if you want visitors. including all of the above.
Please also update your Wordpress Pinging I think most of people don't updates their pinging list here you will find the pinging list of wordpress http://www.hostbie.com/wordpress/ping-your-wordpress-blog-immediately/
