Fame is something a lot of people want to get on dA.
Many people know this - you log in and have little to no new messages.
So you want to get known, want to get your pictures out there. Many pageviews tell you that many people have visited your site and have taken notice of you.
This is giving everyone a good feeling

So here are some suggestions to reach this goal:
Comments In order to get you have to give. Browse through the categories you like the most, and pick the pictures you like and comment on them. Don't only comment on the most professional pictures, the artist is most likely too busy to answer them all. Your chance of getting noticed is bigger when you comment on the works of unpopular artists, as they are more likely reading and answering your comment.
Important: Don't spam. No one likes mediocre comments that could fit every picture. Most people will just ignore you then, plus you could get banned. And don't only comment on pictures, also comment on userpages and journals.
FavouritesFeel free to take advantage of the new "Collection" system in your favourites folder and open different types of collections you like, for example "Dark Art", or "Great Pencil Portraits" or "Naruto" or whatever kind of pictures you like. Then either browse and look for pictures you like or use the search option of deviantART. Start adding pictures to your collections. Don't mind adding Favourites without commenting, many people are glad to receive that kind of recognition even without getting a comment as well.
Important: Don't start to fav-whore. When people realize you fav everything that crosses your way, they will lose interest in you.
WatchesEveryone feels a little special when receiving a watch. "Hey, someone is interested enough in my work to follow it! Yay!" or something like that pops into your mind. Remember? In order to get you have to give. So look out for people who's work interests you, and watch them. They will most likely want to thank you and check out your site.
Important: Don't go on a watch-spree. People will realize you do it without true interest in them and will ignore you (or maybe even report you for system abuse).
AvatarA lot of people are underrating this. Your avatar gives a rough impression on who you are, or even what kind of pictures someone can expect when clicking on your name. Try to avoid low quality, pixelated parts of an image as an avatar. Animated avatars are always an eye-catcher, as well as avatars from popular anime characters (if you're into anime at all). If you cannot make your own avatar, there are plenty of free, totally awesome avatars in deviantarts avatar category. Most of them are free to be used by everyone, so go here if you're interested: [link]
Important: Don't try to trick people by using a "boobs" avatar. No one likes to see anime sketches after clicking on boobs.
ArtworkAnother good way to attract attention is to do Fanart. Sad but true. But every 3rd-class Naruto scribble gets more attention than your own, original work which you put all your sweat and tears into. Don't get me wrong, no one expects you to transform into a fanart artist. But some Naruto here and some Bleach there won't harm you. Just mix them under your usual submissions. If you're a photographer, try to capture pretty women. That's always a go. Especially with little to no clothes on.
Important: Keep in mind to follow the dA rules - no porn!
Just be Active!Deviantart has a lot of stuff you can participate in. There are a forum, a chat, contests, clubs, news articles... just pick what you like! Help some people in the forum or join some clubs to meet people who share the same interests. This website is huge and free to explore 
Those were just my advices

Good luck, and most importantly: Have FUN!

Here is something you should know about me...
There is this old saying that runs:"If you want to make god laugh, tell him your plan..." In my case it would read:"If I want to have a good laugh, I'll ruin your plan then you get to follow mine."

I intend to live forever, or die trying

Never be normal.

Echte Männer essen keinen Honig! Sie kauen Bienen...
Real men don't eat honey! They chew bees...
And, what Lauren-d mentioned maybe isn't nice but she got a point...
Athough what Vamiperlla87 says is true and indeed enough helpful.
