Dark Jedi...As a newbie LL owner and a older freesite submitter I would suggest not asking for category recips right away. A lot of submitters will not submit to your site when they have to change the recips for every niche they build. Especially when your site is new and they know you don't have a lot of traffic yet. In my opinion you'll get a lot more submits if you start out with a nice text link recip. Also, I personally do not buy traffic. Just build good quality free sites with your recip mixed into the recips and maybe a link on the main page and each of the gallery pages. Just make sure you don't go over the standard 3 links per page rule. Just my $.02.
