Well, step one is just to make people aware that you exist-I think the "get a bigger crowd" option is a great way to do that. Increasing your Twitter following would probably also help, though. Tweetspinner is a good app for this-if you get their premium service, you can follow people automatically when they mention certain keywords, automatically follow all of your competitors followers, then purge the followers that don't follow you back. You can also submit your site to social media sites like Digg and Reddit. Getting other websites to write about you will also help point people in your direction. Once you start attracting people, I think having a credibility rating system will become increasingly important in helping to keep the community healthy, intelligent and civil.
