Do i need to be more patient or am i beating a dead horse?

Hi,

First off, thanks for taking the time to check this thread out. After spending time making a plan of attack and then a month executing it i'd like to know what the experts here think who have so much more experience.

I've bought a number of sites here but as with most, the content was a little thin and i didn't bother checking the keyword competition much when agreeing to them, i was pretty green and only checking the CPC and exact competition. i've read a lot about SEO but worry that its outdated or i haven't done enough of it.

Will be a bit of a long post but better to get it all out there so i can talk it through. Website is only couple of months old.

**Half way through typing i had to edit out my webpage, never thought about it effecting my adsense account if people went there and it picked up abnormal activity or anything. I can PM it to you**

When you check this keyword out its below 10k exact and has an ok pay and at least 1000 searches. I dont really care about giving this away at this stage as i'll learn a lot more through this thread hopefully.

Site came with 100 links so i let it sit for 2 weeks before i did anything. I got the 'honeymoon' period and it was on page 1 when searching for "KEYWORD" through google, couldn't really find it on a general search without the quotes.

It came with 3 articles just over 500 words each.

Once i noticed the links coming through decided my plan of action so i ordered 6 articles from odesk for the keyword and related keywords.I put 3 on the site to bring it up to 6 spread out over a couple of weeks. I put one on ezine, goarticles , amazines and made one myself for articlebase i think its called.

I set up an Senuke X campaign on the homepage with variations of the keyword and ran variation of the 3 way attack over some dedicated proxies , 4 accounts and 10 days period.

I also setup a new website Senuke campaign on each inner page as it was published spread over 7 days and a couple of accounts.

I ordered a manual open link wheel of 2.0 which 3000 forum backlinks supporting it from fiverr and then tweaked the web 2.0 ones.

Ordered by edu and high pr for the main site , got 257 edu and 737 pr5 blog comments

Built my own blogs on wordpress and about 5 web 2.0 properties pointing to my site and each other some of the time.

Ordered some more articles, spun these and ordered some UAW , Article Ranks , SEOLinkVine submissions all pointing to my article directories or web 2.0 properties.

I pulled all my links together and put them in linkolicious , prob about 15k with all the forum profile crap but these are going through about 50 a day.

My onsite SEO is all good , rate about 80% on SEO Pressor , dont want to overdo it. Have an external link to authority, video, image and internal links using keyword and keyword variation. Headers and all original content.

I might be beating a dead horse with this one or i'm only scratching the service of what's needed. I've got 8 other sites I'd like to get ranked and decided to put my effort into this one first to get a rankable plan.

All the WSO's these days seem to be about Onpage and fiverr gigs they use

Well that aint working. Over the next week i'm going to create the social media site of SEO i've been reading about and trying that.

Last time i checked i'm on page 3 for "KEYWORD" , nowhere searching for it without quotes that i can find.
