The GCD is interested in raising its profile as well. If you are on Facebook, you can "like" the GCD: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Grand-Comics-Database/136512123051365?ref=ts
If you have a comment or a correction this might also be a way to contact us.
JVJ (RIP):
Yeah, John,
We need an instruction manual for the world, it seems. And even if you DID write one, how do you get anyone to READ it. Sigh... The "thread of useful links" is an excellent example of a beacon hiding in plain sight. I didn't take your question at ALL rhetorically.
We'll keep lighting that torch, no matter who keeps ignoring us.
Intrepidly, Jim (|:{>

Narf's Reference Links still exists on GAC but didn't make it over to here.
It's been on my 'to-do' list for a while. Sorry.

It's a start, but it's not just a matter of getting noticed, Jim (GCD's Jim, I mean). The GCD (and this site, and GAC, and Who's Who, and...well, you get the idea--I'm not throwing stones, by any means) almost need some kind of unified "comic book research textbook," because the extraordinary depth between the sites can get overwhelming.
It's one thing to look at the GCD front page and say, "oh, I can search forr this comic and see someone's summary." It's quite another to realize exactly how many questions can be answered and how to form the questions. I'd be willling to bet that few people look at the site and think "checklists for every creator I can name."
(If anybody is interested in organizing the state of the art, in any respect, contact me privately, and maybe we can get such a thing moving.)

The serendipitousness of this just had to make me laugh, guys.
I've been diddling around on my bookshelves for stuff to sell on eBay and one of the things I turned up, in addition to some pics of Karen and me from 40 years ago, was a copy of Don & Maggie Thompson's mimeographed fanzine, Comic Art #6 from 1966.
In it is an article by Roy Thomas entitled, wait for it, "Newsweek Meets Alter Ego" in which Roy reacts to a, wait for it, Newsweek article on comics fandom in 1965. Fat lot of good Roy sees as coming from it, so I wanted to lower everyone's expectations and reset our wish priorities for some "national" exposure.
You can see the cover and read the description on eBay.
