Squidoo www.squidoo.com is a great place to create content and build links to your own sites, you should also get a fair amount of direct traffic. You should really try and create as many lenses and/or groups as you can making sure they are of good quality. You can also add your blogs RSS feed to your lens which is a great way to make sure your new posts get indexed nice and quickly.
They key is to make sure you optimize your lens your your chosen keywords in the lens title, lens URL and scattered throughout the lens. The more info you can add to your lens(es) the more traffic pulling potential it has and the more likely other Squidoo lensmasters are to link to it.
Also make sure you use the maximum number of tags which I believe is about 40, as each tag you use creates a back link to your lens from the Squidoo tags pages.
GuruBob also shows today how to find content on your niche using Market Samurai. The find content option of Market Samurai has a pretty cool feature which creates an RSS feed of content pulled from a large variety of sources which you can add to your Squidoo Lens.
