There's many things you can do, and it's pretty impossible to list them all in one place; But a quick run down would be; - Update your blog with fresh and unique content as often as possible - Use social bookmarking services - Optimize your on-page SEO - Insert Google Analytics + Webmasters code - Use a Twitter Account - Connect with your readers - The usual grammar/spelling watch outs You can read more over @ our blog, that is dedicated to help bloggers get their blogs going Links in my signature, and if you do drop by, don't be afraid to leave a comment
The above tips are great and helpful. He's right that there are tons of ways to make a blog successful. However, I strongly suggest that this early you plan what kind money making strategy you want to apply to your blog. Is it Google Adsense, affiliate marketing, creating your own product to sell, etc? This is because it's hard to use them simultaneously, and you might end up NOT making money at all. By the way, I just checked your blog and it looks clean to me. However, you may want to add more contents on it before making a full blast in promotion and making money out of it. Hope that helps.
Nice blog, it hesitated for a few seconds before loading for me. Carry on making regular posts on it, promote it by getting backlinks. Stay on topic with it, ive lost count the amount of times i see a blog thats meant to be about seo, but they throw a little general info on there and some random articles because they are higher paying adsense ads.
