How do I get my blog noticed if I'm anonymous?
-
Hi Bloggers,
I’ve started blogging today and I am completely anonymous. That means no sharing my posts or blog to friends, family, anyone related to me in real life. I don’t want people I know in real life knowing my deepest thoughts, you know?
Anyway, the question I have is: If I can’t promote my blog to people I know, how can I expose it to people I don’t know?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks :)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The quality of the content attracts users.
It takes time and effort to build a collection of unique content, to promote it, and to attract followers. See these for Staff tips on increasing traffic:

Increasing traffic to a blog is hard work. If you want your blog to rank well in search engine results then that begins with creating and publishing original content posts (not pages) ie. unique content that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet.

If you are using a WordPress.com theme good SEO is a given. However, going beyond the theme what the blogger has done within that structure is worth evaluating. Whether you write informative, persuasive or controversial content learning how search engines work, and how to apply basic SEO to you content will benefit your blog as it will increase traffic from targeted readers. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/10/21/two-seo-videos-for-bloggers/

Despite the ubiquitous statements to the opposite effect, autoposting, rather than manual posting unique snippets to different social networks results in fewer people reading your full posts on your site.
