So lets say i want to rank first page for a major keyword
 

I have a highly relevant site. Already rank decent on some other keywords or "keyword + another keyword". The domain is old. The keyword is in the domain. The site is very active.

I don't seem to be ranked for the keyword itself at all. This obviously needs to be changed.
I am ranked for "keyword + pictures" on page 28. Love to get this one page 1.
Not ranked for "keyword + movies" want this done as well.

What are my options here? Are there seo experts who can work on this? If so, it's not gonna be cheap right? What are the chances of even getting this kind of rankings i'm looking for?

Any info or suggestions would be nice.

1000 of own aged domains on 50 servers with 50 different templates and 25 seo optimization styles may do the job. its time to work!

You will have to pay quite an amount to get your site ranked on good keywords.

You can always try blackhat seo, but I wouldn't suggest it at all.

Getting shitload of quality backlinks with the anchor texts "keyword + pictures" or "keyword + movies" would do the trick...

No i'm not gonna fuck this site up with blackhat stuff.

With quality links you mean same niche or quality sites any niche?

start building backlinks with anchors "keyword + pictures" "keyword + movies" pretty simple.

either buy backlinks or build sites of your own to give backlinks from.

stay on the lookout for a site for sale that is ranking for "keyword + pictures" or "keyword + movies", snap it up, and 301 it to your site

it's already fucked.

sounds like it's penalized (not ranking, and page 28)

Franck you fail at SEO......

No shit Sherlock.

Not really. I'm #1 for "that keyword + another quite big word".

Theres web sites years ahead of you with back linking, etc. You're best bet is to rank for long tail keywords. Use Googles Keyword selector tool, search your keywords and find low competition long tail keywords with good traffic.

Yeah you might have a point there.

Options? McDonalds.
My employees get me ranked #1 or 1-5 with regularity

Funny and original.

Grab an apron, son. The truth is the truth. It doesn't have to be original.
You couldn't afford La or Vegas, you can't afford Phoenix, I'd say you run is over

start with being sure it has a ton of quality on there. keyword it title and <h1> tags. run it through copyscape to be sure no one has cloned it. that the words are unique. another good thing to do is 80/20 rule. 20 percent of your inbounds go to your subpages. Keep getting inbounds from sites that have inbounds. Don't over do it. just do it consistently over time. hit me up if you want to chat. I can take a look and run some reports to see what your competition is doing.

:2 cents:

Takes a whole lot of research to select and decide for a good combo of long tail keywords, but with the last sites I work on it so far gets, not a huge amount, but let's say well targeted SE traffic

Ranking for top keywords is insane, one would have to have a major budget for a very agressive backlinking campaign

same niche
