High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
It was 3 years and 2 months old when I shut it down
If I Told You... I Would Have To Kill You
Enjin has a list of voting sites.. I posted on all of those.. most of those sites won't help but some will. That might get you 5 players that will stay.
YouTubers are really helpful also try finding unique way to advertising (spam bots are not unique)!
Youtubers help, but nowadays the best ways are
1. Paid advertisments
2. A USP
USP is a Unique Selling Point - in other words, have something other servers don't. A custom minigame, or a custom gamemode, whatever. If people like it, and you're the only place they can get it, you'll get a lot of people.
I used to own the only tekkit classic server that had no banned items(This is going back a few years, before tekkit main/tekkit light) and it had at leat 80 players online around the clock. That's mainly due to people wanting to get on a server with no banned items, which was my USP. They couldn't get it anywhere else, so they had to come to me.
Although being unique is a lot harder nowadays, but it's the most effective way I've come across.
Also, there are more toplists than just minecraftservers. Join as many as you can and get people to vote. Also, PlanetMinecraft's server listing feature lets you 'bump' your server to the top of their server list once a day using a bump button in the 'edit server' page. That's free advertising - make use of it.

Buy minecraftservers.org slots, they help a ton. Our player count doubled with the week we bought (300+ players). However, if you're server isn't built to support/entertain mass amounts of people, work on making it substantial first.
