Learn major ways to promote your blog. This includes methods involving RSS feeds, search engine optimization (SEO), social networks, partnerships and community building. Also, popularity is not just measured in total number of unique page hits. You should look for ways to retain readership, beyond a one-time visit. Just visiting and commenting on other blogs helps. Marketing your blog effectively will take time and effort.
Google owns Blogger/Blogspot and the company has a list of tips for promoting your blog at http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=42377 . Other than that, see these posts and tips for promotion ideas:
