Hi, Aside from adding your blog to the blog directories etc one of the things that has worked well for me is writing and article with your url in the resource box and adding it to as many free article directories as you can. Not only does this help in building links to your site by having it added to the article sites, many other blogs and sites may also pick up your article which means your link is spreading further. You can get a little more info about it here if you're interested http://www.squidoo.com/article-writing-marketing/

How do you add your blog to blog directories? I have two blogs and I have a lot of fun with them, but I'm not getting much traffic at all... just a few hits a week.

Hi, You can submit your blogs to search engines and blog directories the same way you submit websites - do a search for blog directories and you'll come up with quite a few. Usually you need to add your feed url (so if you use blogger it's your blog url /atom.xml - if it's wordpress yourblogurl/feed etc)

Join and post at forums that are in your general topic area of your blog. The more you post the more visits you generate. Just make sure you post quality stuff and have something to offer the forums.

First of all, you should promote your blog when ever you can. You could start this by saying "I have this blo http.... How would you..." You could try http://www.linkreferral.com it gives traffic to your site and people even review your blog so you know what is good and what is bad about it.

You can also add your blog to the traffic exchange sites like blogexplosion.com or bogmad.net. These are sites where you surf through their members blogs and for each two blog you visit someone visits your blog. I think it's a very good way to find readers :)
