Then the more you buy, the more you get matched. Like the tivo of mp3 music - after a while the site just recommends stuff you will like based on what you bought previously.

Unfortunately whilst this is great for the user its of little use to the promoter. I'd look at buying banner ads on the site to click through to your track - get them at the point of sale. If its good it will get bought.
Yeah second that regarding the banner stuff.
I know Beatport has some game rules regarding advertising.
First of all it's free of charge, but your release will have to match their criteria. Besides a good and complete presentation for yur release, they would also examine things like:

1. Name recognition of the producer and/or remixer
2. Past performance of the label and/or label group (Good sales in the past?)

Rather unclear statements, considering how they would interprate this information.
