How do I easily get more traffic to my blog?

Gaining blog traffic definitely takes time and honestly? Networking is your best friend. Make sure that your blog can be found by search engines (under "settings" on Blogspot, you'll need to change your privacy settings to allow it if you haven't already done so), make sure you have an RSS feed set up (you might want to use something like Feedburner to keep track of followers that way), and you'll probably also want to have a follower widget or set up your blog for Google+ so that again, people can follow your blog with more ease (make it easy to find on your blog). Goodreads is useful in general--for tracking books you want to read, have read, etc.--and if you include your blog url on your page, sometimes it directs traffic to your blog as well.
There's also the Book Blogs ning group which can direct traffic to your blog--by linking your reviews up there, following other bloggers, etc. Lastly, setting up a Facebook page for your blog and having a Twitter account for your blog can also help as well. Oh, and if you're going to keep track of page views, unique visitors, etc. then StatCounter would be something useful to have set up.
