Need feedback from all you readers/writers

[M-M]

It's been almost a month since I mentioned AllTheseBooks.com here. Since then I've made many changes and added a blog - BookHuntersBlog.com. Add to this our MySpace and we have a nice triangle going on here. We also decided to concentrate on promoting new authors.
Things are still a little slow - that's where you come in. I'd love to hear suggestions/criticism from all you readers and authors here. What works? What doesn't? What else could I do? How do you like the tagline "Hunt for your new favorite author"?

Here is what we have planned:
A "virtual hunt" where visitors have to hunt for a password that will unlock a page on the blog. The lucky winner gets an Amazon gift card (or something like that).
Articles on various topics (tbd)
Book give-aways (contests)
Each month one subscriber wins books (signed)
I'm trying to get our reviews/interviews onto other sites/blogs (book and genre-specific, i.e. anything horror or romance)
Behind-the-scenes series: Creating a published novel - from conception to the book shelf.

Any other ideas? Any help (even harsh criticism) is very welcome.
