Close to a month back, i wrote on a post "10 ways in creating awareness for your blog" and it should result in a fairly reasonable traffic growth to your site. In my first way of creating awareness for your blog's presence, i briefly spoke about how you could join blog communities and invite others to visit your blog.

You may have received a good number of visits through your invitation list, inviting 500 people from blog communities and for that day you receive close to 700 uniques and 1500 page views which was your highest traffic results in your start of blogging and hoping the results will be the same again tomorrow, then you see a decline in your visitors and realise you need to invite another 500 more visitors the next day to hit the same traffic.
Invite small portion of users a day keeps you in touch of who returns back
Instead of bringing a large group of people to your blog, start small and steady by inviting 5 users and start to build rapport with them for the next 1-2 week. This is a good way to track who is actually interested in your niche and your blog.Do build a continuous rapport between the 2 of you.

Returning a link when you come across interesting articles
Want to be noticed by the other bloggers? Link an interesting article and give a brief write up on why his article is worth reading. Once you have pinged your blog, Technorati will give a link reaction that you have tagged the article.

You should leave comments to blogs you read
That is pretty simple to understand yet many don't return a comment on the blog they have been too. You may have just given up a chance to expose yourself to many other readers who could be reading on the comments that you have left. That is the reason why many blogs don't return to visit you. Learn how to be a top commentor and get spoken about when they know who you are.

While there are many other ways to continue building rapport between different individuals, you guys may want to share your experiences or even write on how you can improve relationship between you and other bloggers, remember being shallow in the blogosphere will not get you anywhere, sharing and learning is what everyone needs to cultivate. Let me know whether the 2 methods work for you and how have they allow you to make new friends.
