I can even rank for "keyword1 (word that doesnt count) keyword2" even though I own www.keyword1(irrelevant word)keyword2.net

Im not even on the first page

Any ideas?

I rank first on page 2 of Google for all keywords I've tried for...

Without really seeing the site, it's hard to answer.

Most probably, you need more incoming links to your homepage and internal pages (called deep linking). That'll get some traffic directly to them and will make it easier for you to get traffic, too.

Another problem may be that your site isn't crawlable. How to know it? Whatever isn't text isn't crawlable. (Google does visit URLs from Javascript, but does it pass value along?).

Make sure you have good internal linking structure. Relevant and informative (and readable) anchor (link) text, etc.

Yah, I've already used basically every technique I could find.

I have a decent number of inbounds which would get me great rankings if I was going for easier keywords, use only resolute links and link to every page on my site and stuff.

I already mentioned I rank well for the keywords I was going for, didn't think I'd have to try very hard to get the one thats my domain.

The only problem I can see is that when I link to my homepage internally, I don't use the url in the anchor, instead I'm just linking to "Home".

While I don't think I'll ever rank for "home" I don't know what else to link to my home page internally....

It would really help if you post your domain and the keywords your targeting, but dont think you'll rank on Google because your keyword is in the domain, it will take way more work than that, and depending on how popular the keyword is, a few inbound links wont cut it.

How old is your site?

Did you analyse your competition?
