It's not a commercial library, so there will be no commercial
advertisement. The developers try to do a good job of spreading
things via "word of mouth" on various lists, such as how you found
Boost. There's also an effort going on to get various
libraries "published" in articles and even books (there have been a
few articles, and it would be nice to see the earlier suggested page
of references to such works on www.boost.org). I'm not sure how else
we could go about "advertising".
