A good way to increase traffic is to have every post you make to wordpress send an update to an blog update server.  This will alert that server that there is a new post on your site, you want to take the entire list on codex.wordpress.org/Update_Services  and put it in the update list on WordPress.

You get to this list by the following steps:

1) Log into the wordpress admin tool

2) Click “Options”

3) Click “Writing”

4) insert the list under “Update Services”

5) Click “Update Options”

Here is a screen shot to help you.
