Twitter has been the most effective place to promote my blog by far. People do look for news coming across and read what they are interested in. After Twitter, I get most of my new visitors from some paid advertisements (stumbleupon), direct url entry, and Google. If I were to start over again, I would want to be listed on Google and Yahoo, Yahoo because it increases your search rankings in Google. I also believe buying old domain names is worth the $10 per year as it gets me more new traffic than Google does.
Other than this, posting relevant comments on other blogs is the way to go. So, in other words, spend your money on domain names and Yahoo, use Twitter, get listed on Google, and post on other people's sites. Everything else you do is gravy. Free is best.
I noticed there is a lot of blog directories out there that will list you for free. This is a good way to increase the number of links to your site. Be careful about putting too many of their graphics on your site though.
