    Yea, I'm wondering what's wrong in my page... I have this wordpress blog about one popular toy. I have the main keyword (name of that toy) and several other keywords that gets high search count per month in my blog title like this "main keyword, keyword 1, keyword 2, etc."

    Next, I have these same keywords and plus few others in my meta keywords
    section.

    Also, this main keyword appears in my site description as well.

    And last, I have an around 800 word article written there in one page where
    this main keyword is mentioned many many times.

    But still, I'm not ranking at all for that main keyword. I do get google traffic and rank for other keywords that has much much lover density in my blog, but the most important keyword: that's what my page is not ranking at all in google.

    So can anyone help me how to get ranked for that main keyword? Maybe post another article there with very high density for that main keyword?

    I'm using All-In-Seo plugin for wordpress there and basic SEO should be allright...

    hmm I think not. The main keyword has around 5 million results in google.

    What's your url? How old is the site? How does your competition look in the top 10 of Google for your main keyword? How many backlinks do you have?

    These are just a few critical questions that we need to know in order to offer suggestions on what to do.

    Seems to me like you're trying too hard. I'd suggest you get more content that is complete with great editorial and diagrams. Then get some serious backlinking to the content going.

    I've done this over and over. You won't get results with poor content that you pay peanuts for. And you won't see results quick enough for your impatience if you don't do the backlinking to help Google recognize the content.

    It's a vicious time and money consuming circle, but it works, and it's highly profitable once you get it down right.
