Most repository queries and referrals come from google scholar and
google users. So it is crucial to get repository contents well indexed
by google.
Here are some tips from Google Scholar's Anurag Acharya:

This is a good occasion to repeat also an important fact about Open
Access Repositories:
OA Repositories' problem is not lack of searchability or of
indexability or of search/index tools and services.
Their problem is lack of OA content.
The cure is effective OA mandates -- not waiting for better search/index tools.
