OK, please don't take this the wrong way. Consider this constructive criticism. But I think you have started the way a lot of people start blogs. A few articles with more ads than unique content.
First of all, what's up with the Chris Brown link? Remove that if you want people to take your blog seriously. He has nothing to do with bodybuilding (he doesn't even have a six pack does he? LOL) Most webmasters are not going to take you seriously if you request a link exchange with limited content and non-related articles and videos.
When I read your blog I have no idea what makes you a credible source on this topic so I just chalk it up to another re-phrased blog with generic content I can get by using Google. It doesn't give me a reason to stick around or come back.
Work on your writing style. You should write in small paragraphs separated by spaces. Your content on your homepage is all lumped together and may give readers a headache.
Did I count 7 articles? You've only just begun (as Karen Carpenter said). Keep building more RELATED content and try to shoot for articles that will entice people to read. The name of your blog is "body building supplements" and I didn't see one article about that. So your focus is all over the place. If you want people to link or partner with you, you have to be more professional with your overall presentation.
You also may want to think about getting your own domain at a later time because the blogspot address immediately tells everyone you aren't paying for your site and that may turn off potential link partners. I know I don't link to people with free blogs and sites.
I know you asked about getting traffic but if you want traffic you are going to have to work on correcting the above things first. Then get out there and start promoting your site on twitter, technorati and other blog related sites. You are going to have to develop a following and that starts with useful content.
Take a look at heavily trafficked blogs and notice what they all have in common.... problogger.net, copyblogger.com, Check out how useful and relevant the content is. These guys are excellent writers and they know how to write to appeal to their audience.
If you are trying to appeal to bodybuilders you are going to have to give them a reason to stick around. Where are your tutorials for bodybuilders? Do you have any pictures or instructions of how to build up muscle? Are you a bodybuilder yourself? Tell me about yourself? Give me a reason to trust your info and stick around. Do you have experience in this field or are you just putting up articles and ads?
You can't just build a blog with a few articles. You have to build a user experience with helpful info and credibility. Add content that other bodybuilder sites don't have so you can attract more traffic from people looking to bodybuild.
No harm meant in this review, just giving it to you straight and honest. Once you work on your content then you can work on promoting your site and getting more traffic. Good luck to you!
