In the same lane, bro. Just starting and finding all this very confusing and very hard, but that's cool, it's a challenge, i just try not to get too frustrated.
Bought some traffic from plugrush, had tons of visits the day of the campaign, and when it was over, my traffic was over too, even when my content is all real with no crappy links, handpicked and daily updated. So plugrush was a waste of my time and my precious very little money

.
Submitted to blog directories too... no hits.
I'll try that link trader and see if it works.
In the meantime i'll just keep trying what most nice people in here i've seen tell you to do, keep it good and clean, update, good content, submit my links here and there and just wait for it. I'm hoping it is worth the effort!
So, welcome and good luck!
