Great point. So far, the only quick success I've had with attracting contributors is with the Facbeook ad. 2,000 new likes came in over only 7-8 days, with more expected to continue pouring in. It hasn't translated to a page view increase all that much, but it's a ridiculously cool starting point that increases your audience on Facebook.
