Yes, before advertising your blog you should add high quality contents first, or after visitors came to your blog and found nothing useful, they won't come again even when they saw your "advertisement".

You can comment on blogs and place a link to your site in the website/homepage field. Here are four blogs that are do-follow:

addcommentblog.com
leaveacomment.net
leaveareply.net
leavecomment.net

Commenting on blogs and bookmarking are fast procedures to increase traffic.
