    You are not going to like what I have to say, but you asked.
    Your site is sooo obviously MFA.
    You have not taken any time to work on design or content. the main focal points on your page are all ads, so much so, that you have squeezed the article in around the ad.
    If you want people to come back and stay, you have to give them something besides ads, they can get that anywhere.
    I started a new blog 30 days ago, and I'm getting 160-250 a day, with around 35% a day, new readers, and 240 subscribers, and growing at about 10-15 day.

    What do I do know that you don't? Nothing.

    I am not any smarter than you, but I care more about the content than anything. Do that and the money will come.
    Right now you are shooting yourself in the foot.

    Now as you work on that...
    Put your bookmark,and RSS buttons where they can be seen.
    Take the counter off of your page, it's 2007.
    Put the search bar on top
    You are talking about Soccer correct? Shouldn't it be Futbol?
    Football is American, right? When I first saw it, I thought it was going to be about NFL Football, (You know, the real one:))
    There is no clear description, "Let's talk about football.." should be your slogan, not your page description.

    I see that you have people wanting to link, that is a good thing, but you really need to work on content, and design.

    If you want my honest opinion, those google ads take up so much space on your blog posts that it's so hard to read. Not visually appealling in my opinion.

    Well the OP just want traffic. I say you should start a link campaign. You can gain a a lot of search engine traffic with some seo and plenty of links.

    humanfield also have given some good design and content advice, without content you can't really do much seo.

    Your main purpose to increase the visitor on blog, it should be more visible in SERP's. For this you have to remove ads and add more effective content with searchable keyphrases, you can use your ads when you are getting traffic.

    The techniques you mentioned take time to produce resuts. If you wanted quick traffic, you may have to try article writing and submission. Or the commercial alternative of ppc. You mentioned exchanging links. This technique may not produce results as Google is downgrading reciprocal links. Again if you are linking to a bad neighbor, your ranking will suffer.

    Add mybloglog.com to your blog and start networking with similar sites and make new friends, build your own little community. I would also suggest checking out spicypage.com and add your blog, and again, network with others!
