Already Have A Blog? Here's how to start...

Once you start up a blog, make sure you keep all your posts on a relevant topic! For example, I've made a couple blogs related to hip hop music, such as cronikonline.com, you have to keep everything relevant or it will be hard to gain readers and subscribers. If your blog about random topics than think about it.. If I go on your blog and see a post on technology, and I like it, I'll come back, but if I come back and see a post on the Civil War, then you just lost me.

Learn SEO, read up on Digitalpoint Forums and really try to learn something, SEO (search engine optimization) is what will get your blog all the traffic it needs.
Gaining backlinks is a good start for you, but start slow or Google and other search engine will think that your spamming. A backlink is when another site has a link to your website/blog, the more backlinks you have (especially if the other websites are relevant to your blogs topic) the more you will probably show up on searches.
Are you signed up to any forum websites? If you listened to my advice before you would be on Digitalpoint, everybody on the forums can change their signature that shows up at the end of every post, change yours and put a link to your blog in it, and there's your first backlink.
Sign up to any forums you can and start putting the link in your signature, you will gain traffic and look like a more credible site when other websites are linking to you.

Blog commenting, Yahoo Answers, and Digg are also great places for you to gain backlinks!
