I find now that when players are looking for a new server to play "Not kids looking to troll on PMC" They go on google. For example my server was at the top of the google list for "Minecraft Towny Servers" people would click on the link, it would go to one of my server listing pages and then they would join the server. I only found this information out by setting up a poll on my website asking "where did you find our server" more than 70% of the people said google. You can find lots of articles on how to increase your google ranking.
The other obvious way is to pay server listing sites. This most of the time is a scam and you hardly get any players from it, unless your posting on the top sites where you have to pay over $1000 for 30 days.
As a owner of a server its not the fact we cant play.. just we don't have time.
i find im always doing updates to make it better for my players. i have a server to run, a website, forums. I would love to play my server, just don't get time.
