    Any innovative ideas ??

    I'm trying to optimize 6 words phrase for google for a long while(4 month) but i'm even not in top 300

    With 2-3 words i get in top 20 in 2-3 month, but here i don't know what to do??
    Maybe there are some special techniques ??

    Thank You

    no special techniques, same as normal keywords.
    when you say you've been optimizing for 4 months, do you mean link building too? basically you only need to optimise once, and then you MUST keep link building to your site, preferably with some anchor text in the links including the long tail keyword.
    then of course there is the level of competition to consider. do you know how many competing sites there are for your keyword phrase?

    Usually if they are that long not much SEO. Ensure keywords are in title and once on the page. It helps to add a link or two to the page but it doesn't really need the exact anchor text as that might over do it.

    I would recommend you to create a separated page for those long keyword and linked from homepage into it.

    1. If you just trying to get homepage (or some page) to be ranked for all 6 keywords altogether, then it would be hard since the content on that page has to covered all keywords. Its important and concept would be splitted into 6 parts. That's why Googlebots cannot define the proper ranking for that page and the keyword you needed.

    2. If you created one inner page which focused only that long tail keyword and got that page linked from homepage with the keyword you desired. This could help in two ways

    - Homepage has a keyword you needed, which could help boost relevancy for overall.
    - That inner page has been linked from homepage with keyword you referred so it will have a much better chance to get ranked, plus the content page which focused just for one keyword is much easier for optimization.

    Long ago, one could just add more keywords to a phrase and rank for the new phrase, but
    Google has changed over the years.

    As others have said, whatever page you want to rank for those six words needs to be important
    in Google's eyes (PageRank), and to be relevant in Google's eyes (anchored incoming links).

    good luck,

    If possible try to put that six word phrase in your title, you will get better results.
