I like the new sounds that you've added and that's all good but....
Your title for this topic is - Best way to get noticed, so,
Your track is just short of 7 minutes long which is fine but the first 2 minutes are introduction.
How is a DJ going to mix this track into a set?
How is a DJ going to mix this track into the next one?
Do you think that the Lead sound is too loud and overpowering the Kick and Bass?
Do you think that the Lead sound might become a bit tedious as the track progresses and would maybe benefit from another synth/sound being layered with it to add a further dimension of interest later in the track?
imo, the next thing to do is compare this track to one of your favourites produced by someone else.
Then copy the way that they sequenced it. How does it start? How does it progress before the first breakdown? etc etc.
So, learn how to construct your track in a similar way to one of those that you love. ;)

Making it at least 20bpm slower would be a good step as well..

It could do with a better Kick, one with more 'presence' because the one you've used sounds muffled, like when you're outside a rave and you hear it coming through the walls.

i know i thot it was the filter at the start that caused it but i listened to the kick on its own n it aint hard enuff am gawna use another kick n maybe put a snare in aswell to emphasize it a little more too coz i've found that usually works quite well

That's better but, imo, the off-beat Bass stab is too loud. It should be balanced in level with the Kick.

The best way to get noticed is to give your tracks to your friends coz they will more than likey spread it, and also on youtube is a good way! :)

i know is traktor. Or you could try ur chances and get virtual dj 7 and see if it works with it and it is probably more likely to have fix certain bugs/issues.
Have you tried searching the problem into google because sometimes you can get answers from there and get ways to resolve the issue.
hope this helps! :D
