Im a newbie at blogging and just lookin for little helpful advice from my fellow mylotters :)
I have a few blogs and have been looking for new ways to get them out there. I have submitted them to search engines, ping them a couple times a week, opened up facebook account, twitter account, myspace account, listed them on various profiles.
Ive looked at a ton of different how to videos and still my traffic seems very unstable. I have a follow link on each blog to make it easy to follow. Hmmmm im just stuck at a dead end not sure how to boost my traffic. Ya it is about making a few bucks in the end but i do enjoy blogging and would like to have a reader base. Its exciting to see somedays google reports 300 visitors ( i know 300 visits is nothing compared to some). Just thought someone out there in mylots might be having good traffic with blogger blog and have some advice for me.
Thanks for any help :)

Well I usually do not give away information due to the fact that I try to learn on my own but I have a few suggestions. One make sure you take your blog and share it with everyone you have contact with online. This meaning ebay, myspace, facebook etc. In order to get the word out online you must use every angle possible. Also I want to share that you can submit a url for free on most search engines as well. This is FREE too. Hope this helps and happy mylotting to you as well.

What momtrying2makeit said is the easiest way to get free traffic to your site and it is called social bookmarking. Its easy and free though tedious and would require a lot of work creating an account for every social bookmarking site. You could also try entre card and adgitize. In adgitize you get free traffic while earning.

Try submitting your blog in a blog directory maybe that will help

Yes this one of the first steps, try bestdirectories.org it is s good one. Maybe your blog is new so you might want to wait a little more.

If you are constantly hitting a particular niche, I'd suggest trying to SEO your blog, basically make it more search engine friendly. Try to do some guests posts on other people's blog so you can build relationships. Try to reach outward and then pull people in. Be creative.

Thanks for the good advice. Im beginning to see the creative end of all this got to try everything and just see what works best for your own type of blog. The more connections you have and socializing does help alot.

Did you do keyword and competition research before creating the blogs? And how are you planning on making money from them?
That's really the only tips, in a question form that is, I can give. I am willing to help you one-to-one if you'd desire.
