Generate more blog traffic

Everyone wants more traffic to their blog. What is the point of writing if the entire world isn't reading?
There are many different sites where you can submit your blog and will hopefully get a lot of hits in return.
One of these sites that I've just discovered is Buzzfuse. It is different than the others, because you begin with showing your latest blog entry to your friends. Once they recommend it, it goes global. This way you can generate interest for your latest post, song, picture or anything else.
You simply post a small piece of code at the end of the blog you want to promote, invite your friends, and wait for the hits.
Have a look at this post to see how it works (look at the link on the bottom of the page).
Good luck.
