I liked the suggestion made by another member that you should find other related blogs and read and comment so you can get back links and also real readers for your own blog. I've done that and it works very well. Of course, you can't expect that people will just start clicking through from your one comment. You need to pick a handful of blogs and then comment every day for one full month, establish your presence and then you will look like a real member of the community and people will want to click through to read what you have to say.
