Traffic Idea 1 - Add Fresh Content
How do you feel when you go to a blog and see the same post there that has been there for 2 weeks? Annoyed? Do you end up not visiting after a while?
I know I do, so make sure you don't do this to your readers. Update your blog content at least twice a week.
This will be easier if you write several posts ahead of time and get a backlog of post ready to roll.
Traffic Idea 2 - Article Marketing
Create content not only for your blog but also for article directories. They are free to join and you should add good quality content continuously. Follow all the rules to ensure your articles get approved.
