Traffic

I see all the articles about making money form a blog but I have just started one

How do I get initial traffic

Thanks a lot for your answer

I have never heard of Twitter and Plurk - sounds like a comedy duo in Vegas - I will take a look

How do I submit it to Google and Yahoo ?

Yahoo: Site Explorer - Submit

Google: Add your URL to Google

I signed up with Plurk, but how do I use that to get traffic ?

I loaded the widget onto my blog

Sorry to seem dumb

Use twitter instead, much more popular microblogging service. download a twitter desktop client like twhirl or tweetdeck and start interacting with people you follow and who follow you. you can find some good tutorials about microblogging, twitter and twhirl.
