critique my link pyramid strategy

I'm starting a new SEO project on a couple keywords that have right around 5 million in competition. I'm looking for some feedback on the initial pyramid setup. I haven't nailed down the 3rd and 4 layers yet, I'd rather build these out first and see where the results take me.

******************See Diagram Attached***********************

I'm using 100% unique and handwritten content and 100% manual work. No bots or programs.

I'm questioning myself on the frequency and quantity of which I post and build these tiers. I can write article after article but I'm not sure what's too much or too little. My money site (The MS.) is only 2 months old and contains 12 high quality blog posts and 3 services pages. I obviously don't want to get it spammed by doing too much too fast.

Any input is appreciated!

    the 2 new domains are on totally untraceable to your MS yes? No possibility of buying aged domains instead with some PR to start?

    Am I the only one that can't think of 50 great directories that I'd want my ms listed in? maybe just me. directories in bulk make me nervous. Even if the directory is a PR4 or 5 that doesn't mean that the page you get your link from will be PR4 or 5 more often than not it's PR N/A or PR0. I would only submit to directories if I think they might drive some targeted traffic to my site. So if my site is for carpet cleaners in Philadelphia I want local philadelphia service directories instead of a non niche specific, "all inclusive" web directory that no one would ever go to search for my listing. That's the whole purpose of directories, to place your site in front of the people that would be looking for it. The backlinks you get if you use things for their intended purpose are typically higher quality, more useful and less likely to look unnatural. I think there are a few directories that are still worth submitting to but like i said, can't think of 50 JMO

    That's a lot of work!

    I use a similar strategy however I only have 2 links pointing to my money site. One is a Web 2.0 link wheel and the other is a PR7 backlink both of which I can remove at any time. I send high PR blog comments and Social Bookmarks to the Web 2.0s and let Google index them naturally. Once the juice trickles down to my money site, I see huge jumps in SERPs.

    I personally think my method is safer and more effective but good luck to you.

    Everything seems to be fine just the matter of fact is, are you still using directory submissions?? I think Matt Cutt already told about all this ... Rest is all fine

    It would be good to add some quality backlinks with a decent page rank from not spammed websites.

    It seems that you use only backlinks with PR N/A.

    Another thing is that most of the Good bookmarking sites can be counted on your fingers. So be careful where you place your link.

    I only try to adjust what you provided, nothing more.

    All that to try and fool Google your page is so great? Seems like there should be an easier way to get rankings.
