Having engaged in active blogging for almost a year now, I have come to conclude from my personal experience and the claims of other newbie bloggers that
www.Entrecard.com is a good place to start building web traffic.
Joining is free, and the activity is straight forward enough. The result of your effort is almost instant and that you get new people patronizing your site is almost guaranteed. The only limitation to your achievement is how active you are in the community. The more effort you put in, the better result you get. That is my tip. Cheers.
