Submit articles to various article directories like Ezinearticles, Articlebuzz, Goarticles etc. Most of the times people search for reliable content in article directories rather than in normal blogs. It is also easier to rank well inside an article directory. Search engines crawl article directory frequently. So if your article comes in search result then people can visit your site through the link given there. This also increases the number of back links of your blog. You can submit articles to the following sites to increase back links:

Write and submit press release to specific directories. The result is very often fruitful. But a press release is bit difficult to write and can cost you much more than an article.
5. YouTube Videos

Upload videos of your service in Youtube.com .But your videos must contain some information to attract people. Probably YouTube is the biggest video sharing site so you can increase your popularity level quickly.
6. Email Signature

Use your site address, your tiny profile inside the signature field of your email. This tells a lot to people. Some of the email readers may get interested and visit your site. To do so you do not need to work too much. Just save default signature with these information and start sending emails to those people whom you know.
I personally feel all these tricks can bring traffic to your site. But they may take some time. Do not give up your hope. Just keep on doing what you have decided to do.
