blogging for a noob

how do I get started building traffic for my blog?

There are many things you would do. Submit articles to directories and linkbuilding. Make sure you do onpage and off page SEO work.

I'm being nice and answering your question but everyone else would prob flame you because you didn't use the search box and was too lazy to even read all the threads already open.

I highly advise you to watch the Profit Instruments Course. It is somewhere in here to download for free... Awesome information in it
