GTJ is right, learning the roots and meanings will help you out a lot. Even if you encounter a kanji that you haven't studied, you'll be a able to pick up on a meaning if you know the character's root or the characters that make it up.
Something that helps me to remember kanji is to read short articles or paragraphs and then rewrite them over and over.
Another thing that has helped is studying Chinese, but that takes a bit of time.
