Just as you would publicize any other website. Many people (technology 
journalists among them) appear to think that "the hidden internet" or 
"the dark web" is something that must be "tunneled into" and accessed 
only through a special portal such as the ones you have mentioned, when 
really they should be thinking of hidden services as usable alongside - 
and linkable from - any other web service.

Restricting the advertisement of hidden services to other hidden 
services will not help defeat the "dark web" mental model.

Of course, it then depends on the nature of your service and the target 
users.
