On both sites, I have a Profile where my books are listed. I can't do much promotion on the main pages, of course, except when I can say "This is the argument used in my book", but I'm sure that just being active there at least promotes "brand recognition". However, entering theological discussion brings as much notoriety as fame. Only this morning someone called me "Satan" for observing that Jesus named two commandments as more important than the others.
Check to see if you can add a link to your books in a signature file (I don't do this with my own books because this really isn't the target audience). I have a few sites where I'm active and have around 1500 followers (both sites combined.) I usually see sales from announcements and updates there. Not many, mind you, but a few.
No advice on the agent, however.
Thanks to the past history of the Rogue Nation group, I'm also the only active member on two otherwise abandoned Proboards forums. I've been plastering book promotion all over both of them, and they both get a small flow of daily visitors. I think there's a webpage somewhere alerting people to board activity and making them curious.
