I have three steps that one must follow to get a great project following. Works for me. No less than 30 comments, 20 love-its and 150 views on any of my projects.
3 Step Process:
1. Make a good, PROFESSIONAL project. Cannot believe how much good this does. People may not like your homade drawings unless you are like Maki-tak with great drawing skills If you arem't, I suggest spriters resource. Fix glitches, use non-annoying music, and give the project a good purpose. Make it look nearly as good as flash. Trust me, it works wonders on popularity.
2. After uploading, IMMEDIATLY add it to galleries. Example: You have a game like Space Invaders/Pheonix. Search for galleries such as "Alien" Add it to every single one that is actually related to alien. Now serach up Aliens, Alein, space, spaceships, shooter, retrogames, stars, missiles, lasers, outer space. Add it to all of those galleries. This helps a bucketload.
3. Post on Fourms, but Jonathonpb has that covered.

Just keep at it and eventually people will remeber you. 

how do you get/make professional sprites?

too bad nobody will see my proejcts no matter what

*sigh* great tips. unfortunatly, they don't work for me

1. Post worthwhile comments on projects and forums (especially if they would be intrested in seeing your projects). Avoid typos if possible.
2. Projects are often found under tags. Adding relevent tags to a project is impotant if you want views.
3. In the Show and Tell forum, post an ad.
4. Make sure the project is graphically sound, and it is well made. Projects will get more views if the person has spent time making them. Intead of making 2 projects that get a few views, make one that gets lots!
5. An easy way to get views is for people to actually CLICK on your project. Projects with more views are found more easily. Add a worthwhile title, and try to make the image of your project eyecatching.
6. And be patient.

They're my ideas. 

Nice tips, going to add them

If they worked for everyone, all Scratchers would be famous 

Wow, I just re-read my post and I sound very cocky...


Oh well, it worked back then.

Yeah, I sometimes feel like that with my old posts too.

Hi, I am NameGirl and my sprite is Namey with her sister, Cameron, and half sister/pet cat, Carter. I thrive on making good animations. Recently, I made and animation called "Superhuman Powers Episode1: SuperStupid" and i worked about 4 1/2 hours on it. It was really hard and i am SOOOooo proud of it, but i have barely any views. Thanks to good friends, I have my most amount of views on this animation, but i still really REALLY want to get front paged. Is it possible anyone wants to see my video? If anyone wants their videos to get viewed, you can post it down below. (But i will not look at your video unless you look at mine and leave a comment saying you were there) Thank you!

You'd do better off following the tips in the guide than to simply post here asking for views

You can use professional sprite making websites, such as devianart.com or sprite resources.com. Hope this helps!

helpful

Revised the guide... should revise the etiquette one someday.

Very nice! There are some things in here that I think some people don't really think could help, such has the meaningful comments. The icon suggestion is good, people will really ignore the project if theres not a good icon sometimes. Thanks for an awesome guide!

Actually, I remember people who are nice.
I also made sure to create an icon before I became curator; it would really help my fame.    I changed it once since then, I added glasses. XD

How did no one think of making something like this?

Great job! It must've taken you a while to write this up!

It is very informative and should give all the new members something to read and learn on.
