As Taken From My Site:

A couple ways are: making a really awesome kickass video or by being more active on the site like in the forums or IRC. You can add pretty buttons / signature images to your forum signature that link to your videos, and whatnot. Just be sure to read and follow the forum rules and you should get along fine.

To get more Downloads:
be da pimp of your AMV whore! post an Announcement Thread
post links to your AMV in other places like the AMV livejournal
or any forums you might be on that have anything to do with AMV or places you think that they might enjoy your amv...

Of course I should add to it that entering convention contests and doing well in them helps.

To quote yahtzee (paraphrasing for AMVs)

"Making an AMV and hoping someone else notices you is kind of like being stranded on a deserted island and writing letters in bottles and throwing them into a sea of letters in bottles in the hopes that someone will actually read yours and bring rescue."

The AMV community has grown substantially and on the advent of the tube the number of videos got flooded even more. Though granted the or is more firendly to searching vids there are still a ridiculously large number of vids and getting yours to stand out is tough. Typically you need to accomplish one of two things to get people to notice your work

1. Start pushing your name to friends and other people, don't be too pushy or no one would go; this is why we have the Video Announcments forum and the Opinion Exchange. It's a good way to start and if people like your stuff they'll hopefully pass it on.

2. Make something people remember and get it out in the larger community. This is tougher because this one relies on contents and conventions, if you make a video that makes it into a convention or the finals of one then people are more likely to check into your other work if theyr eally liked it. My profile sucked till I finally made Shattered Dreams and Purpose of Persocoms, then the hits got a bit more regular as people will start looking at your other work if they've seen one they like before.

Thats been happening quite alot. Not that we wanna watch your amvs unless theres reason we should. Don't be too stressful about it.
