      This is really silly question to ask over here! But, I have to drop my mind bubble after long R & D and efforts!

      Right now, I am working on Patio Umbrellas keyword and want to out rank with following landing page.

      http://www.vistastores.com/patio-umbrellas

      I have implemented too many ways on this page since January 2012. Right now, my website is in top 20 position with  this keyword.

      I want to achieve top 10 ranking with Patio Umbrellas keyword. Now, I have certain limitation to make changes on web page.  This is client requirement. So, I have to drill down more with link building.

      I have started work on link building on since February 2012 and rank well with keyword. Now, I'm searching for link building way which help me to improve ranking in short time frame.

      I don't want to do any single activity on this page which is UN-productive for me. If you have any on page inputs so it may help me more.

      SEOmoz is really big source to search and justify answer but, I want to add expert advice in it.

      Thanks,

        The best way from what I understand is to continue link building, but do so from high authority sites with an anchor text to that specific page. Anchor text being, "patio umbrellas".

        Blogs are a great place for that, because often your links will end up on the home page, at least for a short time, which will significantly improve results.

        Try guest blog posts if you have time and have a network and link from authority sites blog rolls as well if you have them available.

        Other than that, pray and hope.
