To be honest I am not sure if I would spend 1K on advertising alone. It could prove to be pointless with little return over the long haul unless you have an idea that would work, but strictly promoting one room may not. Just my opinon .

Here is what I would do if I was going to put money into my site....content

I would hire someone to help in writing the content for my site, two people whipping out pages or even three...make the changes necessary on page. I would probably spend some on good directories for inclusion for the main keywords I am going after. I think this is a better deal in some cases because you have a year paid for a fraction of what some of the bigger sites charge for a link, and if you can get in the root or top level of the niche even better IMO not to mention the ability to submit internal pages

I would pay for a few links from some bigger sites but not alot, and exchange some.

I would do what I can to benefit myself in the long run by ranking for those terms so in 6 mths I am still there while that money has already been long gone.
