I would just use the usual methods such as: -link building/link exchange -article writing -social bookmarking -squidoo lense -SEO etc etc... (nothing that is just specific to a poker blog I mean) P.S. If you want to make some extra $$$ from your blog, MoreNiche pays $2 for every free sign up to WassOnline which is the first and largest online gambling community meets social network on the internet. It converts traffic really well! If you do decide to give it a go, sign up to MoreNiche through my link here and I will give you free one-on-one support if you ever need it. Good luck with your blog
Set up a tourny on bodog, You can have the prize be like 10 bucks and then send out a press release and also post on poker forums, sports betting forums, anything gambling or guy related.... Im sure you could get a lil buzz going...just write good content too. Good Luck
