On Page 3 For a Massive Keyword. What Now?

[sashas]

I'm currently sitting on page three (position 27) in Google for a single word search term that gets almost a million searches+ a month (its one of the biggest genres in music). There are a total of 7.44 million search results for this keyword (with quotes, but since its a single word keyword, quotes don't matter anyway).

Now I've gotten to this point primarily because I own the keyword.org domain. I have just about half a dozen links pointing to the domain, and haven't promoted it at all yet.

My question is: what can I do to push it up the rankings, say even landing on page 1? I'm pretty sure a page 1 ranking can deliver over 100,000 visitors each month. I have the main keyword .org (a 12 year old domain), so that's a major plus. I've got some nice content in the pipeline and a pretty good design.

Where would you recommend I go for backlinks? Social bookmarks? Squidoo?

pretty simple, more back links from RELATED sources...
sure ezines, and what have you are ok, but they dont hold that much weight compared to matching / related sites...

your best bet is to start your own network of websites on different hosting companies, set up about 50-100 of them and you should be sorted. I wouldn't be concerned of the cost if you are sure that's how many visitors the search engine gets... but take in mind that you'll only get around 10% of those visitors...
