Use Search Engine Friendly URLs (for dynamic sites)

Immediately after launching your site you should do the following:

Do NOT do the following:
Make an all Flash website (without an HTML alternative)
Use JavaScript for navigation

Use duplicate content
Point several domains to one site without using a 301 redirect
Use markup inappropiately
Style <H>eader tags to look like regular text
Hide content using 'display: hidden' (for the sake of hiding text)
Use other "black hat" techniques (unless you accept the risk - Banning)
Doorway/Landing pages

You have an extremely hard battle ahead of you. Getting listed is one thing. Gitting first position in the SERP (Search Engine Result Position) for advertising probably means an extreme amount of work and probably a greater amount of money. It won't be cheap.
As a first endeavor you should try for an easier keyword.
Good luck.

stymiee that's a great list. I haven't seen one before so comprehensive, yet minus the usual bull.
Connections, you should probably focus on a more specific keyword first. Such as 'advertising websites' or 'free advertising websites'. A 2 or 3 keyword target phrase would be a much more achievable starting point.
