Which blog sites will people most likely visit and read my blogs?
I’m currently with wordpress.com but i don’t think that site gets a lot of traffic.
Do you know of a site that people visit frequently and read blogs?
Doesn’t have to specifically be a site specifically made for blogs?
what I want is a high traffic site where people will most likely find and read my blog posts while still remaining anonymous.
Whether people read your blog has much less to do with the service or platform where it’s hosted, and much more to do with the quality of your blogs and the strategies employed to promote them. I recommend that you spend a significant amount of time developing a unique blog identity and utilizing marketing methods. You can’t create a blog and then expect readers to automatically come to you.
Learn major ways to promote your blog. This includes methods involving RSS feeds, search engine optimization (SEO), social networks, partnerships and community building. Also, popularity is not just measured in total number of unique page hits. You should look for ways to retain readership, beyond a one-time visit. Just visiting and commenting on other blogs helps. Marketing your blog effectively will take time and effort. So, see these posts and tips for promotion ideas:

I’ve received a newsletter sometime ago about "Drive Traffic auto using a RefererX ". They give good tips what to do, you may want to check
at this http://tinyurl.com/drive-traffic-refererX
What i know,RefererX it visits websites and identifies itself as coming from certain website, technically called “referer”. The owner of
the visited websites will notice this “referer” either through their traffic analyzer or recent referer widget placed on their website. So
by replacing this “referer” with your link/URL, it indirectly works as a medium for promoting your website, affiliate product or even your
AdSense page. Target appropriate websites and refer as many as possible to get more visibility and gain benefits from it.In other words,
it’s like having a bunch of workers that will go to thousands of sites, distributing your pamphlets/brochures (consisting of your business
information). Imagine having such staff that work 24/7, promoting to thousands quickly. It’s a dream come true!

Kee’s answer if spot on! DO read up on SEO (Search Engine Optimization) I feel that specifically categories/tagging and regular scheduled posts are paramount to blogging success.
Stick with WordPress.com - they submit to search engines almost instantaneously.
If you read up on blogging, write about something you are passionate about and enjoy being a blogger your readership will follow.
I wish you best of luck with your blogging experience.
