If you already have a massive site it may be best to pay. It'll get you more frequent updating. In order to not shut down the site from so many requests search engines moderate their behavior by IP. If your host can support it you can get multiple IPs for subsections of your site in order for the crawlers to deeply scan though your information. Forums and interactive sections really help. Since most of your weight comes from backlinks and most people link you by your domain keywords a domain with targeted keywords will definitely help in placement. The domain also has to be relatively short and easy to remember. It's not very well known but the people who handle ALL the domain name in their database are a company called Network Solutions so get your domains directly from them rather than some reseller. To minimize work load try not to have so many images and external objects. The the timeout lower than the 300 default in apache. Be sure to anticipate! A little thought now can save you a lot of work later.
