Question: Most effective way to increase programmer salary besides just doing your job?
Answer: By doing your job, I assume you mean the technical aspect. Programming, meeting requirements, attending meetings, etc. 

If so, than one of the most effective way would be to work on the social aspect of your job. 

You can meet all of your technical objectives but still get a lower salary than someone with good technical skills but great people skills.

You need to promote yourself to your boss and to your coworkers. Make contacts in the industry. Become a leader among your team. Be the guy people are asking for help when they are stuck. 

People that do these things are usually will usually be perceived favorably by management, thus be seen as more valuable.
