In response - how about a few international mailing lists dealing with
aligned issues? How about international computing & information
associations, sites & lists? How about contacting major portals for banners
and links (I dare say some may provide for free). I mangaged to advertise
(by my standards poorly) a website 4 years ago better than this..

Oh goody.  Then we can argue about how prominent is prominent.
