What I first did was listed my blog for free at dmoz.org and yahoo. Dmoz is crawled by many search engines and if your website has lots of useful keywords and items of interest, hits would climb steadily. For instance, my international research paper published on my website 5 years ago has now more than 17,000 hits. Of course, if you want to boost your hits faster, you can always pay for premium services to list and promote your blog. Though, good content very much determines whether you get loyal visitors who browse your site for longer and thats tracked by advertisers as well who are interested to pay you advertising revenues to advertise on your blog. To list my blog for free, I used my own website and other networking sites such as multiply and linkedin.com and listed my blog site on every section and page. It helps that my linked in profile has more than 7000 contacts and I am at the top of the search of many recruiters and visitors to my profile who would click on my blog site to learn more about me personally. Yes, it means I am now a public figure, but these days, you may want to differentiate yourself from the many pawns in the industrial and global chain and put a personal face on your presence. Another method you may have noticed is that I diligently do a lot of internal links within each blog post to refer to the previous blog posts I published. This does count in adding your page rank, though not significantly. Then, be sure to search up similar blogs with high traffic and leave comments there with your blog website so that interested visitors could check out your blog as well as allow google to crawl your blog while crawling the more popular blogs. For Alexa ranking, you need to have visitors usually from USA who have installed Alexa software on their PC to visit your blog. Last but not least, be sure to post a variety of interesting topics ranging from informative subjects, personal experiences, investment opinions, product reviews to cultural themes. Just sticking to rambling about your life can sometimes not be such a popular search keyword. I do know that putting more photos does make the blog more interesting and I will strive to do that more often. I have also learnt later in my blogging, to seek for more comments from readers and to learn from them. Participation is key to a good blog visit and I very much welcome more comments... please keep them coming and add me into your blog roll. Leave a comment on this blog post if you have added me in your blog list, and I would reciprocate and do the same on mine.
So that you would not forget Tip 100, add me on your blog list or favorites and bookmark me. Tip 100 ... contest for everyone. Leave a comment here if you have added me.

From this post, I would assume that you wouldn't mind me linking your blog to my blog.
Nothing much to comment on this post. But are you planning to get advertisers to advertise in your blog once your ranking has improved?
Sure, can you change to Daddy Parenting Tips (Philip Lee). Thanks
On advertising, I have started doing that already. Though not on an active basis. Read the following post and register your blog. Simply by doing that and writing a post, you get paid.

I don't have a credit card for pay pal. Have you been getting paid so far?
read up on pay pal if they accept bank account numbers in Australia or even direct debit cards. I previously joined pay pal when i had a bank account in USA but paypal has been much more global since. So far, got paid USD$20 only from payperpost and used it. As I said, I have not been focusing my efforts on this.
