Ok, I've started a new blog and its getting some traffic, but I really want to advertise it a bit more. What are the best ways? I have:
-Updating to twitter
-Ping after every post
-Digg - Im not big enough yet i know
What else?
Youtube: It has thousands of audience around.
Your content is too unfocused. Most people who want to read a review of Forza don't give a orange about your new power adapter. Advertising is useless without worthwhile, interesting content.
I've found that forum signatures get the best results. Become active on forums with similar content to your blog and you'll attract quality visitors.

Thats the idea with it being a gaming and tech review site
How about splitting them up? One site, 2 sides? Like maybe have a home page with half dedicated to tech and half dedicated to gaming and then when the user picks one side they'll either get all game reviews or all tech reviews?

Yeah, I get that that's the idea, but is that a good idea? Why would I visit your site over Engadget, ArsTechnica, Gizmodo, Kotaku, Joystiq, etc.?
Why would you visit Engadget over Gizmodo or vice versa? They were all new and small to begin with.

I thought about that, but I really like wordpress and I dont know how to do that
without having two blogs (which could be a solution i suppose
)
EDIT: How about now? On the home page that is

This is a really lazy answer and tells me that you don't actually know the answer to the question.
SO how would you answer it then? Its not lazy, its perfectly valid.
When mybb was first thought up did they say "oh damn, there are already BB softwares, i guess we'll give up"?
