How do I lay this website out in terms of SEO?

Looking for some help from the SEO experts.

I have a nice blog that is running on wordpress. Adsense already placed on it. As of right now I have only targetted longail keywords, easy competition. So I have it setup like so:

5 categories at the top of the blog used as navigation. I have been creating blog posts that show on the home page (dynamic home page)

Would it be better for me to create 5 PAGES for the navigation bar and use them to target larger keywords in my niche and just use the posts to re-target those keywords as well as target the longtail keywords?

I would like to keep the dynamic home page and not use a static homepage. But I think some static pages in the navigation bar for larger keywords would be a good idea?

Then I could buy high PR links and point them back to the pages? (www.domain.com/page)

Or would I want to point the high PR links back to the home page? (www.domain.com)

Sorry for the noob questions but I want to do this 100% right. So far I believe I have perfect on-page SEO and I want it to stay that way. I want the most solid site foundations possible.

Thank you!

Anyone have some input?

What's the point of re-targeting the same keywords? Sounds like a keyword cannibalization. As for a dynamic home page - if you'll find a way to index it, there shouldn't be a problem as well.

Best quality backlinks should be pointed to the pages you would like to rank for. If you have a properly optimized website, the whole domain will benefit from the link juice received. I'd suggest you creating a tier 1 links by yourself. Buying them and pointing to your money website isn't a good idea. And remember - slow ones are the winners in this game. Hope that helps.

The pages you are sending links to and trying to rank should be mostly static content as that converts much better than a dynamic index. So use the posts to target your long-tails and then use static pages (you can include a list of the posts in a sidebar or at the bottom but don't distract your visitor) for your main higher volume keywords. It's also helpful to include a link from the post pages to the static pages for internal linking and relevance for the google crawler.

Alright. So use static pages for main keywords. And posts for longtails.
