Don't Ignore Social Media

Using Social Media to promote you online presence, will help you over time to grow traffic.  Make sure that whatever blogging media you are using, you take advantage of Google's AddThis.  This will put links on your site to pretty much every social media site that there is, so if your visitors see something they like, they can help you promote by sharing with the AddThis buttons.  Some of the more popular ones of course are  G+, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, DiggThis, Delicious, StumbleUpon, and bit.ly.  Make sure that  you sign up on all of these sites, if you haven't already.  For Pinterest, you have to request an invite.  Then you can created pages related to your interests.  Maybe you are blogging about some of your interests, and you can add posts from your blog to Pinterest via you AddThis buttons.

Also, if you are using WordPress, make sure you add an RSS feed button for people to subscribe to your site, and you can also add a subscribe by e-mail button.  I use http://www.feedburner.com to add RSS feed buttons to my sites, but there are others out there that you might have a preference for.  Take advantage of cross linking too.  You have the option on Feedburner to create an animated banner that links to an RSS feed, and if you have one site that is related to another site, you can cross promote them this way.

If you are on Facebook, take advantage of the ability to build a Fan Page for your website or blog.  Over time, as people visit your site or blog, some of them will share your info with their followers, and over time you can build some good, steadily growing traffic that way.  Check out the cool "Follow Me" Twitter shirt from Cafe' Press below.
