I'm sure those words will get people in the know to your site.  
Intentional community, concensus, and alternative might be words I would 
look for.   You may also want to get in touch with the major search 
engines and have them put you in their database.  For instance, looking 
in Yahoo under real estate will yeild a list of agancies in a particular 
area. Those people were not necessarily just "found" by Yahoo, but 
requested to be on the list.  You can tell the powers that be in Yahoo 
that you want your site added to the list.  This is just an example, I 
don't know what category they would put you in.
