There are lot of projects using LLVM [1]. The fact that LDC if
often cited in the release notes means that it's one of the
best. This is free advertisement, as the LLVM release notes
are read by PL people that may not know D. The fact that LDC
is recognized as one of the most important LLVM projects also
means that the LLVM folks will try to help the LDC folks when
needed.

i dont think counting each time when ldc and d are mentioned in
llvm community will help ldc and d to become popular)))
News ticker often refer to the LLVM release notes. E.g. the Heise
news ticker (http://www.heise.de/) always reports about a new
LLVM release. But I never succeded to place a new LDC release
into the ticker. It's simply a good way to more people and get
some advertising.
With every new LDC release I inform LLVM Weekly
(http://llvmweekly.org/), too, which is a widely read news
letter. From one of these source, news about LDC spread to other
sites like phoronix (http://phoronix.com/).
Maybe counting of each reference is a bit childish (but fun). The
real question is:
What do YOU do to advocate D?
