As many of the other posters have stated, SEO is the way to go if you're wanting to get your blog on Google search results.

No one has actually given you actual tips about using SEO, so let me give you a simple idea of how to structure your blog posts to get on Google.

*keep in mind that it's highly competitive out there, so it's important to do some good keyword/phrase research.

Or you can experiment and just see what works

Step 1: Keyword search


Google Keyword is a good resource. Focus in on keywords or phrases YOU think people would type in to find your content (blog posts)

If your blog is about fishing then you want to look at the keywords people are using to search for fishing.

For example: fishing lures, fishing spots, fishing tackle, best fishing boats

Step 2: Using Keywords/phrases on your blog

For example, If I want to use "best lakes for fishing" as my key phrase, I will make a post about my favorite lakes for fishing and I'd have a good chance of being high on the search results (depending on keyword/phrase competition)

Since you said you were commenting on blogs and forums already, you're doing the right things. Those are the best ways (guest posting too) to drive traffic back to your blog in its early stages.

If you have any more questions or you're confused about anything that I've said fell free to message me.

The first thing that you can do is publish your blog address in your online profiles. If you are using social networks include your blog address. Twitter, facebook, and linkedin are taking over the online space. Post comments on other blogs in your subject area. This is a great way to get traffic. If you make well thought out contributions then people will click on your link back to your website.

Hi

Congratulations on having started your own blog :)

Promoting it is a long-term process. Of course SEO can help but you have to update meaningful content regularly - either one post everyday or once in two days or every week and so on. Participate in forum related to the subject of your blog and interact with people. Submit your blogs to blog sites and directories. 

Make sure you reply to each comment on your post as and when people comment on it. Eventually you will get results. 

Cheers!

I am not sure if you know about the term Link Baiting? If not, then try finding out about Link Baiting, this is one of the effective way of generating traffic on blog. Also try to write on topics that are contemporary and trendy. Write unique content. Write proper meta tags. Join discussions on social networks, forums, Q & A websites etc.

The most important thing in order for everything else to be successful is to constantly update your blog, by adding fresh new content. The content should be unique and relevant if you want to increase followers and build traffic.

No quick solution to promoting your blog. It takes work, good old blue-collar work. If you like the theme of your blog is not enough then there is a good chance that you do not mind putting in time and not feel like work at all. Make a successful start with a blog post at a time.

I think it takes time for Google to index your site as well as the content within your blog. Another thing that could help is guest blogging on other sites like yours, as well as inviting guests to formally blog on your site.
