Soliciting ideas, opinions, etc. on increasing blog traffic. How are you getting noticed? What works and what doesn’t? 

Recently I signed on with http://alltop.com/ in an effort to increase my blog’s exposure. There is so much info there that one could waste a day perusing interesting blogs. My links can be found under the Lifestyle section:  http://lifestyle.alltop.com/
