Twiends work but those are like 'Forced' fans and fans like that will do nothing for your page. You need real people that are interested in your offer or niche. You should do some SEO and place a Like - Share - Tweet button for best results. You should get a few 100-1000 fans daily depending on the niche ofcourse
I suggest you make some web 2.0 properties and but a box to your fanpage. Then do some basic off page SEO for the web 2.0 sites. Make sure you target the longtail KWs so that you will see search results in 1-3 days.
Your Facebook fan page title and profile pic should be more appealing and innovative and send as many request as possible.
if your face book page are unique category and the contain of that is quite useful,fanny then it is not a hard to achieve my dear friend. Thanks
fnd other sites related to your niche and click on there like button i heard that works some. And mabey do a contest.

i just answer similer question in this thread:http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2217050 it was "just make four page more attractive and unique content oriented then it will work for you....". thank you.
Add you company logo as profile picture of fan-page. Send request to your friend to join you page post interesting content on your page. Keep update your page try to reply to the others comment that is helpful to create a intimacy with Facebook user and create interest into them to join your page.
I use to join groups on FB with the same niche as my Page, in that way we share the same interest, and the probability is high to make for fans.
saidly, pages which have a good number of fans are usually page of organization (or being bought by organization).
there are lot of ways that you can use them for increasing your fans , some ways are very good and some are bad. if you use the programs that increase your fan automatically then you are on the wrong way. try to get your fans by manual work like posting on walls, and inviting your friends to join you.
