It's also good in the blog world to comment on other related blogs with your url in the sig. Then they'll click through to check out your place. Also try to trade links with blogs similar to what you are doing.
@kdb003 I already submitted my blog to dozens of directorys. They're getting me 1-2 visitors / month. Now I try to leave my comment on other blogs. That seems to work. Got 150 visitors after 3 days of commenting. Wonder what happens if I keep doing this for a couple of months....
Best thing to do IMO Also very time consuming. And I don't mean this crap When you track your blog traffic, you will realize that the most traffic will come from the best comment posts. Those who visit blogs like yours, will visit yours if you are credible. Simply searching Google for "your keyterm + blog" can get you started. Quantity should be secondary. A few good posts on high traffic related blogs can get your name out there already
