Suggestions for getting traffic flowing to a new blog?

I would totally ignore the so called blog directories , their traffic is minuscule. I submitted my blog to LL that I submit fs to and got way more traffic.

I'm also leaning this way. When you're first listed, you're on the main page and/or main category page and get lots of traffic. But very soon you drop down as more blogs are added. Soon they're linking to your blog from page 21 and geting 0 traffic while still linking back to their main url.
So it's good in the beginning for quick traffic and incoming PR links, but after a couple months it's trade value dwindles....

Agreed. Most blog directories, not all are like that and are owned by one of about three people. The ones not in that network are much better and run more like traditional link sites.
