I guess I don't really, which is probably a problem. I've always assumed that review/article/tutorial writing has helped me out since people see me being active in the community, but I can't be sure that's true.
I don't know. RMN in particular has a larger community then it appears, and that's due to the way the community is divided: There are those who only post on game pages, those who are heavily vocal on the forums, those who sometimes swarm around reviews. etc.
My point is that it's possible that the crowds you've drawn in isn't necessarily the same crowd who are curious about the games you made.
