So the Question I am Asking here is...What can we do Here,In Gaia to Promote and Inform others about our path? In what way can we get the Voice of the Northern Gods to those in Gaia who should hear?
Suggestions?

First and foremost, we should make sure to follow the advice of the Hávamál and post with respect and honour.
That is : Share knowledge, not assumptions. To present theories as theories and not misrepresent them as fact. Be calm and to the point and avoid ranting or arguing.
Arguing with a fool in public places is not advised (says so in hávamál) as that person will say things that any arguing with will make you seem a fool yourself. And he will call you a coward and believe it to be true. (This verse of hávamál suggests you kill the idiot in his sleep instead but we don't need the bad rep so that's not really advised either.)
Be ready to answer questions, even stupid ones.
Remind people that the Vikings were no more cruel or aggressive than other people of that time. That the only literary people of the time were men of the church and that their writings aren't exactly objective. That the vikings were just as much explorers, settlers and merchants as they were pirates/raiders.
DO NOT LOOSE YOUR TEMPER. (Just can't be said too many times.)
Be mindful of other people's faith (lead by example) as the simple truth is that there is no such thing as an evil religion, only dishonourable assholes who hide behind religion to further their own greedy ambitions.
If you want I can post a few links later on, such as a source on the "Vikings weren't teh evil" thing..

Hiragi-kun i think we can make signatures that link others to our guild,that way if they get interest they can join,besides,i bet theyr are lots of asatrus out there who dont know about this guild,they just need a push,anyways,just my humble opinion I second this. I came across this guild because I thought to search for "Asatru" out of curiosity. But given the lack of Asatru-related threads and such on Gaia, it wouldn't surprise me if most people just assumed there's none/not many of us here. =P

There are tons of em but they are all in generic "pagan" guilds. Besides not every person who worships northern european deities worships Aesir or Vanir so our guild name is misleading. Heathen Troth of the Asatru while asatru are heathens all heathens aren't asatru.

 I did a search for Asatru also after chatting on an ED thread with the topic.

I found this guild by posting a thread asking about asatru people on gaia and didn't get to many replies but that was like a year ago.
