i dont know how to promote it without using paid ads.
i posted it on many ad directories. i used 12dp hits andi amkes my site have abt 30 hits per day but no one visits it.
so i dont update nowadays. i now update after a week.
well, one good thing about blogs is that Google loves them since they are updated regularly. And there are blog search engines, besides Google, like Technorati, & ping services like *blo.gs, www.weblogs.com which you can notify whenever your blog is updated.
but the key is that you've to post regularly. how long ago did you start your blog? typically you shouldn't expect anything from a website for the first 6 months, that can be set lower for a blog, but I'd say you should give it sometime. and you shouldn't just sit back & relax in that time. you've to both promote & update the blog in that time. you can also tell your friends etc & they'll tell their friends etc. then you can put the link to your blog in your signature on forums you visit. the more you post(helpful posts, not 'hi, hello' posts), the more people will notice you & will visit the link in your signature.

yeah! but how will any1 visit my blog when he dot know abt it. howz any1 gonna get any link to my blog. why will any1 s gonna try my blog???
well, I don't wanna boast but you can take an example of my blog for that. when I started out last year in april, I just started blogging & pinging the ping services. blogging regularly brought me into Google for a lot of terms(if you check now, I'm 2nd most popular "amit gupta" in Google/Yahoo/MSN & 17th most popular "amit" in Google, 21st in Yahoo & 6th in MSN). And I got quite less traffic in first month, but then it started increasing & was above 50000/month in less than a year!!
And to tell you the truth, I didn't do any promotion for my blog, I just blogged regularly & pinged the ping services, that's all.
People started finding my stuff useful, so they started subscribing to my RSS feeds & visiting my blog. same is with everyone!! you ask yourself, why would you visit a website or a blog regularly? because you find it useful or interesting!! same thing applies to your blog as well. why would anyone link to it? because you've something that other finds good.

are good but I think that you should ask them from yourself & you'll know the answer. apply them to yourself, why would you link to a blog if its not of a friend & not paying to link? why will you try a blog? & I think that when you answer them, you'll know what to do!!
