The idea that you can simply "build it and they will come" is insufficient and will take you years to get the readers and the ranking you desire. As of July 2006 there were over 50 million blogs tracked on technorati. Everyone is blogging these days and chances are hundreds of people are blogging about the very same thing you are. How do you intend to get people to your blog and how will you stand out from other bloggers?

Irrelevant link exchanges, spam commenting and other linking schemes are also basically useless and will most likely result in negative ratings and possible ban from search engines.
The best way to build your readership and get your content read is to network! Reading and commenting on other blogs, forums, networking sites and returning the favor when people visit you is the most successful way. So, get out there today and find some blogs that you would enjoy reading and commenting on. You can check out: http://www.technorati.com to search for blogs and add your own, also: http://blogsearch.google.com is a great way to find blogs.

If you can spend 30 min to an hour visiting other relevant and interesting blogs, reading the content and posting on topic comments it will pay off. They key is to be consistent with your own blog posts and to consistently visit and participate in other blogs. Before you know it you will have several cyber friends visiting your blog just as you visited theirs and if your content is really good they may even talk about your posts in their own posts thus bringing you more readers!

Find 3-5 blogs that you like (the more the better), visit them everyday, write on topic comments for as many posts as you can, fill in your own blog address and your information when you comment. Do this for a week just to see what happens! I know you will be surprised at the results!
