I think the lure of merge mining needs to be tangible. If a calculator was built that showed the average difference in earnings between a merged pool and say p2pool or any other straight coin mining pool it may bring in more people. Have the ability to put in their hash rate, pull variables from current difficulty, price/coin. Money is pretty popular these days... If people can calculate that they will earn more they will join up.
