You have to call MapHttpAttributeRoutes() so that the Framework will be able to walk through your attributes and register the appropriate routes upon application start:

public static class WebApiConfig
{
    public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
    {
        config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();

        // you can add manual routes as well
        //config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(...
    }
}
