Hi, blurem23,

There are a few factors which determines the traffic on your blog.

First is the topics selection. You have to select the topics which people would want to read. You have to post articles which are of interest to people.

Second, is the platform that you are using. Most people would suggest Wordpress.

Third, the tools you use on your blog which would help to generate traffic. There are a lot of tools for Wordpress which are designed for Search Engine Optimization.

Fourth, the frequency you add a post. People do not like to wait for weeks in between posts.

You can also use the following methods to gain traffic.
1. Visit to forum. Submit to the forum and sign off with your blog site.
2. E-mail blast
3. Submit your post to Social Networking site.

There is a site which you would like to visit - http://pinurl.com/ks1. You will be asked 7 questions to evaluate your blogging. It will automatically generate a FREE detailed analysis report if you blog is optimized for marketing or generating traffic. You can use the questions and the report as a reference on ways to generate traffic for your blog.

I hope this was the answer you are looking for.

You can use Project Wonderful to run ads as low as $0.01 a day in other's people blogs or you can run campaigns. This blog has two sets of ads if you scroll you'll see the cheap ones,
http://huayruroperu.blogspot.com just click on the 'Ads by Project Wonderful! Your ad could be here, right now.' link and register.

If you have time you could use http://www.linkreferral.com/adwel.pl?oldrefid=225331 it builds traffic but you have to log in and browse for like an hour daily, it's free.

You could also create a twitter account and promote your website or use Magpie to promote to other people's followers (you pay them to talk to their friends about your website, some people have like 1000s followers) http://be-a-magpie.com/wg7guf

If you use blogger you could follow other's peoples blogs, they usually follow back
