Pfft, 30k? I'd love to have 30k leads. I have, like 10 people on my "coming soon" mailing list. And I personally know 5 of them :D

I have no flippin' idea how the other 5 found my landing page. I haven't been running ads or anything. I was going to wait till I actually launched (hopefully in a few weeks).

My thought process was the same. Pay for Adwords, et al., to drive people to a page that basically says "Sorry, we're not ready yet, but sign up for our mailing list, maybe?" Not sure that's a good idea.

Our lead designer had 20k+ twitter followers, so that was the core of it.
Ooh, I have 7. Perhaps my aversion to social media has consequences.
