Well there are a few ways to get this done:

First off pick some keywords and get back links by either buying/trading them to get your blog ranking in google/yahoo/msn to get traffic.

Also keep adding good unique content daily so user will return and hopefully tell their friends/family/coworkers about it therefore giving even more traffic

Try an rss feed where users can subscribe to your content and keep up to date on the latest news on your blog.

Give them something back, maybe try and host a few competitions to get users eager to win etc.

One piece of advise i have learnt and any webmaster will tell you this, is to think outside the box. Place yourself as the user, what would you want to see in a blog, what would make you come back?

Hope this helped

Blogs have a great potential. The best feature according to me is the content relevant urls of blog posts that helps quite a lot in grabbing traffic from search engines. You can get a lot of traffic if you actually just continue writing on your blog and get a few relevant quality links to point to your blog. RSS feed is another method good method actually.
Another good method is to link to blog posts of relevant high traffic blogs, so automatically link to your blog post will appear in their "Post page" that shows as "Tracbacks"

Well it depends how much popular you wana be. If you can even spend for your popularity it will be easy to get into an Affiliate program and let the other do the job for you.
Another cheap way is to Trade your link.
Go to other blogs and advertise It yourself, get potential users whom you can make your own advertisers.

submit your blog to blog directories, they might not give you lot's of direct traffic, but well, you'll get some links fast and easy, it's just one of the many ways to promote your blog

obviously it's best to get links from related blog's, that's where you target market is

Have you tried using tag clouds in your blog? In addition to blog directories, sign up at social bookmarking sites such as technorati and others. Afterwhich, try Pingoat so you 'll get everything pinged everytime there are new posts in your blog.

Do your keyword research. Then write excellent content, based on those keywords, that people will love.

The most successful & popular sites are loved by people AND search engines.

Article writing and DIY SEO are the best.

I agree with the affiliate program idea.

Will also try to throw in a few things, might be old, might be useful:

1. Write articles/blogs with your keyworded links throughout, post a blog on blogger.com and pingomatic.com it. Rewrite 40-60% of the article(s) and submit to other article sites, again keyword/linking.

2. Add a social bookmarking tool on your blog(s). Become a member of the bigger ones, and bookmark yourself, get at least a few friends to follow suit.

3. Become a member of relevant boards/forums, create nice signatures and stay active within the forums.

4. Buy traffic, either PPC, independant, banner spots, textlinks etc. (though for a blog thats untraditional.

5. Constantly look for relevant sites with high PR to link with, pay if you have to.

6. Offer amazing tips/freebies etc. on your blog, advertise the freebies/incentives instead of just the blog subject et al.

7. Look at your direct competitors in your niche/keys/etc. and analyze the %*#( out of their pages, duplicate efforts with your own twist re meta/text on page/titles/alt-image text/anchors/comment tags etc. SEO should be natural from your subject however this may still improve ranking/visibility.

8. If the whole purpose of the blog is to monetize on it with adsense, it will be a long hard journey to see real profit from non-finance supported efforts. If you are monetizing with affiliate programs you can review your products on your blogs, link to the merchant from your blog, and advertise the product(s) you promote. Reviews are great.

9. Landing pages/mini-sites: Start another small 3-4 page automated site with rss/automatic content updates etc. so it's automated, promote your blog on it. Or just single pages under different domains that are SEO heavy and highlight best parts of your blog with a 'read the full story' or 'for part 2 click here' button at the bottom of your landing page.

10. Sell your own product that you made (ebook/audio/something digital), get a ClickBank or other aff account, promote to affiliates, they will get your traffic and you will analyze their results, follow and document successfull affiliates-you'll have a blueprint to your best ways to get profitable traffic.

11. If you are your own domain name you should never EVER underestimate the power of offline marketing, this is broad but single piece print distribution, radio, newspapers, hot models handing out business cards, whatever - it's not 'get my blog popular' - its 'I'm starting a massive ad campaign on all available channels/resources towards a website/page/blog.

Keep getting inspired/educated by the success all around you, especially if you find someone within your own niche.

Cheers hope this helps,
NC.

Another suggestion is that you should add your own web address to your own profile signature. Each time you post or respond to questions, your add will be displayed. And if you will post useful and cognitive content people will check out your site!
