Getting people to read your blog

I have been doing this blog for a week now and although rome wasnt built in day it is extremely hard to get visitors. I have done the right things or so I have been informed my blog gets pinged everytime I add a new post, I have registered with some of the main blog search engines and I have added sitetracker so I can see just who does visit my blog. There is one regular visitor from woburn,massachusets a mysterious blog reader who comes to my site 10 times a day. Dont get me wrong I fully appreciate it but I wonder who this person is, wether they are suffering from toothache and need help or if they just like looking at my profile pic?? Anyway I will carry on promoting this blog because I believe there are thousands of people out there suffering who need to be helped and who could probably help others. Heres hoping!!
