having been involved in site promotion for a role playing group, and also being involved in my dance studio's social media campaign, I think social media is the way forward. I'd love to be involved in any way I can help. I think it'd be especially helpful if our active hosted authors and published authors who have facebook pages, twitter pages, etc, would be so kind as to link back GA, or tweet about or @GA every now and again to help build exposure from any of their readers who might not yet know about our community here.
Clearly, to me at least, promotion via social media is the way to go; the way of the future. I'm sure we can find a happy medium of preserving the anonymity of those who wish to remain anonymous and promoting GA.
