First, let me say that this board is a wonderful source for information. I'm getting ready to travel down the SEO road and would like your help before I get started.

I will be in a competitive market place (real estate). My goal is to be at a PR5 within 6 months and within the top 20 for my keywords.

1) Optimize my website
2) Focus on free backlink services such as 1-3 in http://www.pheedster.com/directories.php
3) Pay for higher end backlinks (focusing on those with high PR) such as:

BlueFind (PR

$50 One time???
SevenSeek (PR7) $40 One time???
Uncover the Net (PR7) ($40 lifetime)
ThisIsOurYear (PR5) $20 one time???
Wow Directory (PR6) $20 Lifetime for express listing, $40/year for Sponsored
GoGuides (PR6) $40 (with $80 credit at links2go.com)
Skaffe (PR5) $40 one time
JoeAnt (PR6) $40 one time
Zeal - (PR

?
Gimpsy - (PR4) $40 one time
Yahoo! - (PR10) $300 annual fee

I will initially be on a tight budget initially so I'm looking for the biggest bang for the buck. I have already purchased WPG3 because I really like the reporting. I'll be doing most of the work by hand however.

Please let me know of anything significant that I'm missing. I'll probably be purchasing Aaron's seobook soon as well.

One question I do have, I want to get the ball rolling on getting my site indexed although it isn't perfect yet. Can I submit my home page and rely on the crawlers to index and rate the inner pages? Or do I have to submit each page individually?

Thanks again for a great forum!
