Ping to get traffic
I’ve found a great list of RPC and RPC2 services to ping at Elliot Back to be put at Options>Writing>Update Services. I don’t know whether this tip is effective to bring traffics to my site, but I will give it a try. Maybe pinging through pingoat.com is enough. Anyway here is the list.

Update: I’ve removed this list from my Update Services list because I’ve encountered problem to make a post. Longer time was needed than usual. After waiting for such a long time, I was told to download post.php. ????
Get a free domain name
If you badly need a domain name but cannot afford it, you can have a look at this page: Guide to get a free domain name.
But it is free in terms of money. In order to get a so-called free domain, you need to do some tasks. In some offers you need to get certain points which can be get by completing online offers and referring the website to others e.g.: You need to get 1000 points (10 for each referral, 7-130 for online offers). Besides, you will be having uninvited ads on your webpage, which will be a little bit annoying.
In conclusion, nothing is free. $10 per year is not that much. 
Wordpress.com is celebrating reaching 200 thousand blogs
Congratulation to everybody concerned. This is the reward of your great efforts. As a Wordpress.com user, I am very satisfied with their service until now. The best part I like is that my page is frequently spidered by Google and the amount of traffic is not bad. But I still wish that Wordpress.com will allow templates customizing, or at least gives the users more choice of themes. Anyway, you are great, guys.
