I just wrote a new blog post on blogging and new ways to bring traffic that I've done and were successful for me. It's pretty in depth and has links to examples so I'm posting a link instead of the article. It does touch on starting your own blog if you don't already have one. Since getting my butt in gear and focusing on my blog, and posting and marketing regularly, my shop views have really increased. Feel free to post questions or other ideas to this thread and I'll get back to you when I can!
This post specifically touches on utilizing linky parties to drive traffic and my experience with them.
