I've been doing webcomics online for over a decade. And yeah, when I spent hundreds of dollars on nice banner ads on other video game/webcomic/nerd sites, there was a lot of immediate results. Sometimes up to 12,000 unique ip visitors a day. But now I like the whole magic of "if you build it...". People have been slow to embrace tumblr, soundcloud, youtube, vimeo, etc. But for musicians, artists, etc it's wonderful. I started a new webcomic series last week for the heck of it after a long hiatus from that field, and already have people reblogging and commenting on it. The secret is if you're doing something youre inspired with and feel is a unique voice, people will find it.
Same with my songs. I created a new project and uploaded songs to tumblr, youtube and soundcloud and already have people wanting to remix, collaborate or spin my songs. I think it's ok to post plug stuff on forums you've been on a long time, but from my own experience(of trial and error) people generally roll their eyes at self promotion on forums.
