It's easy Matt. You feature them on the front page for a couple days! My highest scoring pages are relatively unknown for the Sierra but they got selected some time ago and ended up with a lot of votes.
It didn't hurt that they were very good to start with.
: -)
Also do not buy in to the assumption that there is a correlation between hits and votes. My page that gets the most hits per day is Tehipite Dome... a fairly exposed third class peak in the Sierra that has very little and poor information on it elsewhere. It's probably one of the most valuable additions I've made to the site. But though it gets tons of hits... it gets very few new votes at this point.
EDIT: it has gotten just ONE new vote in the last two years! Dispite literally 1000s of hits over that period. I just don't think the correlation is strong enough between hits and votes for that to be the solution.
I would be quite irritated if its score started decreasing just because people were accessing it to get information!
