True. Make sure you find an optional place to advertise for your server. For example, your banner spot could be used for this. I see you've already done that, although the image is hard to understand. I didn't know it was for your server.
To be honest, ive posted on ALOT of websites. I think if I update my server on those pages it will be bumped to the top again, and the cycle continues.
Buy premium advertisements if you can afford them, and make sure you post your server on top list sites and give your current players good rewards for voting for your server on those sites.

Nice idea, but I can't really afford advertising. I have posted on lots of sites, and I do need players to vote for the server on them, so I'll set it as an announcement that If they vote they get a reward. Thanks.
Make sure you do have something special to offer players who join. A special aspect on gamplay, a custom map, custom plugins and/or another special system. Be creative and make sure your servers stands out from the rest.
I do have one good thing, but it isn't a custom plugin. Players on my server have to get a certain Overall level in mcMMO to rank up to the next rank. This goes on for 5 ranks until they hit the max rank, but can still continue their levels in mcMMO.
So, say I was the first rank, Citizen. I then achieve a total mcMMO level of 50, I then rank up. Then again at 100, 150, 200, 250 etc. I haven't seen any other servers with it so far, so It is quite unique.
Interesting idea. And this is an RPG server? In that case you might consider using Citizens and its addition Denizen to add quests to your gameplay.
Maybe another sort of ranking system by using scripts (more advanced level). So you write certain scripts that runs the command /rankup or similar whenever a player: 1) The player reached level 25 in McMMO. 2) The player completes %amount% of quests. 3) The player walks %amount% of metres/blocks.
This is just an example of what you could do using scripts.
Oh, now that's a good addition to an RPG server. It would mean that players have to do more things and have a 'tick-list' of what to do to rank up. I'll consider that. I also used to have Citizens, and although it does take up some space, it will be a good addition to my server.
Yeah, scripting is quite advanced. That means you'd have to scipt using both VariableTriggers and Denizen. There are plugins out there which allows you to set up rank ladders, and add what players will need in order to be able to rank up. However, this comes with some limitations. Scripting manually can be more customized by you, at any time. There are more possibilities, and no limitations. You need to know what you're doing, though.
Skript allows you to script using almost regular english sentences, although I didn't get it to work at the time I was using it.
I am not that great with scripting, but I will definatley give Skript a shot. I think my server really does need something custom.
Before I hit bed for tonight, check out the plugin LoreAttributes. It's an absolutely fascinating plugin that fits perfectly on your server, considering the theme.
1. Votifier- getting players to vote will make your server higher in the list. Make it so they vote for maybe 4 different websites which then gives them 2 diamonds and 10xp or something like that.
2. Minigames- I have a Minigames server and the only reason people play on it is because of the 2 Minigames we have. We have hunger games and spleen. You may need to fiddle around with factions and hunger games but apart from that your good to go!
1. I will definatley include Votifier to my server, and SimpleVoteListener. 2. I used to have lots of Minigames on my older server, and no one really played on them. However, my server does currently have a parkout minigame, and alot of people have used it, so I'll try out some others. Thanks.
Would you mind PMing me some further information about your server? Like a list of plugins, gameplay aspects and so on. Basically what you use your plugins for, and what you would like to achieve.
