After lamenting that they can't find time to write on their blog, the next most popular challenge I hear about is that the blogger is not getting enough traffic to his/her blog.
Aside from the obvious - publish valuable content consistently and constantly - there are dozens, if not hundreds of ways to drive traffic to a blog.
First, I direct you to a free 57-minute audio program on driving quality traffic to your blog that I presented a few months ago. I recently reviewed the entire program and everything discussed is still relevant. You also get a word for word transcript.
Second, there is an entire category on this blog with more than 100 posts about various ways to attract traffic to your blog. OK, that may seem daunting so here's a list of some posts that can jump start your blog traffic if you implement the tactics.

Then, post a comment with your #1 blog traffic tactic. I have no doubt there are many more ways than I have written about or even experimented with.
