There are four ways to generate blog traffic -

Buy it
Search engines
Two way Sharing of traffic - link exchange & back links
Create content, videos or news generates interest, attention & word of mouth

You may use a single method or a combination of the 4 methods.
But it is better to focus on becoming proficient at one method only before trying the second.
At one stage, you will need to diversify to reduce dependence a single source as no traffic generating methid
remains effective in the fast changing web environment.

I make use of the last method the most and get part of the traffic from search engines, free advertising & small budget advertising.

If you work on search engines, you will be using search engine optimization (SEO), keywords analysis,
building links, commenting and sharing two way links.

Paid advertising is recommended in the initial stages, involving buying paid reviews, pay per click ads and banner ads on websites and blogs.

Traffic from other sources, through joint ventures, or guest blogging or even simple methods like - leaving comments and posting in forums.

The most common way bloggers use to build traffic, which unfortunately is usually the slowest unless you have existing leverage points in place, is to focus on building content. Great content can be enough to sustain a blog, but it’s rarely enough to get it going in the first place. It’s usually necessary to combine this method with one or several of the other traffic techniques, at least initially.

What Method Is Best?
It’s up to you how you choose to build traffic and your current circumstances and abilities dictate what methods you use. No one method is better than another in a strict sense, but certain techniques you will find easier and suit your style, thus reward you better, so I suggest you gravitate to methods you find comfortable and rewarding.
