the views you get from other artists won't help any. they might buy, but not likely. the views you want are from buyers, not us. at one point views, comments, votes etc actually meant something. but when it was learned that those things helped in the search, everyone created groups, clubs, cliques, etc, and abused it. now it doesn't have that much meaning, but the idea persists. so while it won't hurt you to post in these groups, it won't help much either. i wouldn't waste time keeping track of any of that stuff.
the only real thing that boosts you in the search is active selling.
