How do you drive traffic to the website:
  • on-page: keywords, placement, format
  • off page: quantity/quality inbound links
Use Google Toolbar find higher ranking sites, then make relationships with those sites so they link back to you. You can also use My Yahoo or iGoogle to do this: stream an RSS of your blog onto your homepage. Having these high ranking sites link to your site will raise your rank.
