Ik this thread is old but in case someone wants to read this servers are actually popular because of the amount of players they have. All of the steps above though CAN help you get those players but it's not as easy as it sounds.

How to apply for Staff:
Email the server and ask for an application, or apply on here:
1. IGN (In-Game Name):
2. Age (optional):
3. How long have you been on the server?:
4. Reason for wanting Staff (requires at least 3 sentences):
5. Experience (what other servers have you helped, in what way, are they still active?):
6. Have you ever been banned on a server? If so, why?:
7. What can you bring?:
8. Proof of work:
9. Additional info about you (optional):
First off, how the heck do you keep up with all those numbers?
I'd say it's normal for not all players to stay, but some just leave because their impression of the server.
If you have an eye-catching spawn then most likely people will stay, but if people don't then it could be because they just come and leave on a bunch of servers for no reason.
I'm not saying this is the reason but usually when new players come on (after I bump on PMC), I say "Welcome" in the chat.
Like I said that's not the top reason why probably but it can help, that's showing that it's a server with a good community, not where everybody's just doing their own thing.
Though yes, PMC may bring hackers and such, if you have those plugins then it's no problem.
PMC can get you regulars but out of all the sites it has the most hackers, swearers, etc.
But it does bring more players, and you can always get the plugin PwnFilter as a swearing blocker if you want.
Out of all the sites for me, I'd say Minecraft-server-list has the nicest and best players out of all of them.
Minecraft-server-list and PMC are the biggest ways you would get new players, in my opinion.

A few things I would like to suggest- I couldn't tell which pic was the spawn, none of them had captions.
Another was the description of the server, I don't think you really need to include the part about the people who stayed for 10 minutes and left.
But overall it looks like you are doing really good with advertising, getting 44 views from 2-3 bumps is really good.
Good luck, as said before.
