Those are great tips, thanks. I actually have some high profile people following @thathigh on twitter, namely, Snoop Dogg, Sarah Silverman, Doug Benson, Bill Maher, and Guy Kawasaki. Not sure how to capitalize on those, as twitter doesn't send a ton of traffic to the site. Any ideas? :-)

Wow, that's interesting. I guess I would start by just trying to have a conversation with them on Twitter or something. A retweet from Snoop would be great!

Or, you could create a little badge on your site for social proof. "We're followed by..." Keeping it up to date would be a challenge, but they probably won't unfollow you.

Seriously, e-mail those advertisers though, it will be the easiest money you ever made. They would love to advertise on your site.
