Where do you get ARCs from?

My top place for ARCs is LibraryThing, where I've snagged several from Member Giveaways and almost one a month for the past year from Early Reviewers. I'm trying First Look GoodReads now, and after six months I've gotten four books.
Random House has a program for its teens called Random Buzzers, and I've gotten one ARC so far (out of about three giveaways that I've entered). There's other free books besides ARCs offered there, too.
Besides that, I've been entering a lot of blog giveaways, but I've only won books in one of them so far (out of maybe 100? that I've entered).
I've started a new book blog and hopefully I can request ARCs from publishers and participate in blog tours later, but right now I have only 3 followers.
What are some of the other good places to get ARCs?

I get most of mine from Shelf Awareness.

What do you have to do to get ARC from Shelf Awareness?

I get some from netgalley.com but you would need an ereader unless you want to read from the computer.

There's a blog called Blogging for Books
waterbrookmultnomah.com/bloggingforbooks/
I just signed up and received my first books today.

I just took a look at that site. Is it all as religion-oriented as it appears?

8, Looks like a Christian publisher.

Then I will avoid it, free books notwithstanding. They probably wouldn't like my reviews, anyway!
