My experience is that the more you try to trick the system, the less likely it will work. Advertising is one thing. If you do something like fake accounts or make yourself bigger then you are, you loose the grass roots first users who become your biggest supports when you want to grow from spam lists. You should read what economists say. Know your customer. If you can't find any don't do it. Know your competition. If you can't define it, don't do it. Know your business. If you don't love what you do, don't do it.
