Best way(s) to gauge interest in a website or idea???

[faromic]

I've had an idea for a website for a while. I think the development would be costly (as expected) so I don't want to put a ton of money into it before I know there's truly a market for it. Based on the research I've done and stuff I've picked up I think the best way to go about it is to just setup a landing page listing the key benefits, features, and fremium revenue model. I would ask potential customers to enter their name and email to capture their info. Once they opt in I could maybe forward them to some sort of survey regarding the future site.

A couple things I'm not sure about as I haven't done this before. In terms of traffic should I just rely on organic traffic? How much organic traffic can I get from SEO from a one page landing site? I also thought of using Adwords or facebook ads to drive traffic to the landing page. I'd try and keep the budget low (but not sure how efficient this would be). I can try and use offline methods such as targeted postcards to get people to go online and check it out.

I would have to say the site is under development or pre-development (something along these lines). The thing I'm wondering is whether there are an legal repercussions. I remember reading somewhere not too long ago that if you put items up for presale and people purchase you have to deliver within 30 days. I'm not sure if there is an issue with capturing emails based on people thinking this site is coming.

I'm not sure how else I can gauge interest using a landing page? Maybe a landing page is not the way? I can setup several and split test. I did a google search and found unbounce. That may be an option.
