One way I have seen some personal blog owners promote is by organizing contests. You can open a discussion on your blog (in your area) and recommend all bloggers reading your site to post their views on their own blogs and the best reply gets prizes (worth $100) - say movie tickets, dvds, etc. Inevitably, these bloggers link back to you for the original discussion before posting their views to their blog readers.
