If you have a blog, you have just as much need to get traffic to your blog as you do to your website. They work hand in hand with getting traffic to each other.
A great way to get your blog noticed is to join forces with other blogs. You find other blogs that are similar to yours, write good comments on there blog. They come to your blog and write comments on yours. Maybe you like something that they did that is worth writing about on your blog and you send people to see what they have. They do the same for you. You send traffic back and forth to each other. This is how you start a friendship with other blogs. You help each other out.
To find these like minded people, (do a search, I looked under blog directories to find these) these are places that you can submit your blog and find other blogs similar to your. Go to:
http://www.blogcatalog.com/
http://www.bloghub.com/
http://www.bloghints.com/
http://www.bloggingfusion.com/
http://www.dmegs.com/
http://www.blogdup.com/
http://www.toprankblog.com/
http://www.wilsdomain.com/
http://www.blogflux.com/
http://www.bloggertizer.com/
http://www.ektron.com/
http://blogpoint.com/
Submit your blog to directories, make comments on other peoples blogs, make friend in the blogging community. These are but a few that are in this category. You are not limited to just these you can add your blog to as many as you would like. The more the better.
If you are just starting out with your blog, make sure that you have about ten posts on your blog before you start adding it to the directories. That way when people find your blog it has something for them to read and enjoy.
These are from a search " free blog directories" check them out:
http://www.blogadr.com/
http://www.blogrankings.com/
http://www.superblogdirectory.com/
http://bloglisting.net/
http://blogannounce.info/
http://blogratedirectory.com/
http://eatonweb.com/
http://blogdumps.com/
Add your blog to as many of these directories as possible. You could even add your blog to all of them if you choose. You will get more visitors that way. This helps your blog get noticed by Google, Yahoo, MSN and others search engines. People go to these search engines to find things. If you are getting noticed by search engines you are going to have more traffic to your blog and from your blog to your web site if they are linked to each other.
Make sure that you keep up with your posting of new posts. People will loose interest in coming to your blog if they have read it already and no new posts. If you can post every day that is best.
Your comments on how this has helped you, will help others that want to know if this will really help them.

Hi Dan & Deanna,
Great tips on driving more traffic to our blog. A lot of these (directories) are new to us. Thank you for sharing more valuable info.
StumbleUpon.com is another great site to use for more free traffic and an awesome place to connect with like-minded people. Are the two of you on Stumble? Let us know. Would love to check out your stumbleblog. :-)
Many Blessings....
